Dephasing of ion beams as Magnetic Vortex Acceleration regime
transitions into a bubble-like field structure
The interaction of an ultra-intense laser pulse with a near critical density target results in the formation of a plasma channel, a strong azimuthal magnetic field and moving vortices. An application of this is the generation of energetic and collimated ion beams via Magnetic Vortex Acceleration. The optimized regime of …
