Schemes of ion acceleration employing high energy, petawatt laser pulses
… experimental and numerical investigations of ion acceleration employing high energy, picosecond laser pulses. In two separate campaigns on the petawatt arm of the Vulcan laser system, novel laser and target parameters were implemented to explore schemes of ion acceleration beyond the well …

Multispecies ion acceleration from intense laser interactions with thin foils
… and demonstration of novel laser driven ion acceleration mechanisms is key to overcoming the limitations of both well understood laser based processes and becoming competitive with conventional particle accelerators. This thesis presents two methods of enhancing the ion energies achievable in …

Radiation generation and high-field physics phenomena in ultra-intense laser-solid interactions
… experimental and numerical investigations of the radiation produced via ultra-intense laser-solid interactions. Laser intensities in the range 10exp18−10exp24 Wcm−2 are explored, enabling these interactions to be investigated at current laser facilities (at the lower end of this intensity range), …

Transition from transparency to hole-boring in relativistic laser-solid interactions at the Texas Petawatt
… force from the laser leads to large light pressure which pushes a sheet of electrons into the target bulk. This leads to a strong electric potential between the electron sheet and ions that are left behind. These ions are accelerated by the potential in a process known as hole boring. Both …
