| Abstract |
Several projects worldwide such as LIGHT at GSI focus on laser ion acceleration. With the development of new laser systems and advances in the target production a new acceleration mechanism has become of interest: The Radiation Pressure Acceleration (RPA). An ultra short high intense laser pulse hits a very thin foil target and the emerging plasma is ideally accelerated as one piece (light sail regime). The ions reach kinetic energies up to GeV and nearly solid body densities. In this work, the distribution and transport of a RPA plasma is studied. 1D and 2D PIC simulations (software: VSim) are carried out to obtain the phase space distribution of the plasma. The results are compared to fluid models (software: FiPy and USim). A reference model an RPA plasma is obtained which is then used for advanced transport studies. Transport mechanisms (active and passive) are studied, such asĪ¼lenses and foil stacks.
