“Ion acceleration by superintense laser-plasma interaction”
by Andrea Macchi (CNR/INO) with Marco Borghesi, and Matteo Passoni: Reviews of Modern Physics 85, 751 (2013).
Laser-plasma acceleration of ions has been making steady progress, with the ability now to generate ultrashort, multi-MeV ion bunches in extremely short distances. This article reviews the physics behind the ion acceleration and discusses the directions that this research field is taking.
