Collective charged particle dynamics in relativistically transparent laser-plasma interactions
… (nanometre scale) foils undergoing expansion and relativistic induced transparency. The onset of this relativistic mechanism is also characterised and studied in detail. This new insight into relativistic transparency is an important step towards optical control of charged particle dynamics in …

Intra-pulse dynamics of laser-driven ion acceleration in ultra-thin foils
… pulses with ultra-thin, solid targets in which relativistic transparency is induced. In particular, it explores the multiple laser-ion acceleration mechanisms that take place over the duration of the laser pulse. Investigating these acceleration mechanisms is important for understanding the …

Multispecies ion acceleration from intense laser interactions with thin foils
The understanding 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 …

Transition from transparency to hole-boring in relativistic laser-solid interactions at the Texas Petawatt
… density surface during interactions between a relativistically intense laser pulse and a solid density target. On short time scales the laser field increases the electron quiver velocity, increasing the effective electron mass which increases the plasma frequency at a given electron density. …
