Cover Story: Highly efficient laser ion acceleration is investigated by reducing the laser group velocity and, therefore, the phase velocity of the excited wavefields in the target below the ion trapping velocity. This is realized by choosing the target’s electron density near the critical density. To enhance the overall efficiency, an overdense foil is placed behind the near-critical trapping region. Our carefully designed density profiles can convert three quarters of laser energy into ion energy with ions reaching 2.5 MeV maximum energy, compared with less than 1% efficiency and 0.1 MeV maximum energy when the overdense foil alone is considered. The proposed target may be designed by the adoption of carbon nanotube foam whose tube diameter matches the desired critical density. View this paper
