- The scaling of proton energies in ultrashort pulse laser plasma acceleration (2010, background): “the potential corresponds to the hot electron Debye length λD and the surface field is consistent with the one resulting from the established plasma expansion model [10].”
- Laser-driven particle and photon beams and some applications (2010, methodology): “The earlier simple plasma expansion model of Mora (2003) had to be modified to provide a more realistic temperature-varying model.”
- Review of laser-driven ion sources and their applications (2012, methodology): “3D proton ray tracing with an electric field model described by Romagnani et al (2005) and Mora (2003) allows estimating the field parameters.”
- Laser-driven proton scaling laws and new paths towards energy increase (2006, methodology): “We have compared simultaneously all the obtained scalings with a simple self-similar, isothermal, time-limited fluid mode”
- Target normal sheath acceleration: theory, comparison with experiments and future perspectives (2010, background): “Hot electrons are commonly described as having thermal equilibrium in the self-consistent potential, via the Boltzmann relation, ne(x) = ne0 exp (eφ/T ) [10, 11, 17, 18].”
- Principles and applications of compact laser–plasma accelerators (2008, background): “The resulting electron thermal pressure drives an expansion of these hot electrons around the target, setting up a large-amplitude electrostatic field at the target–vacuum interface”
- Radiation pressure acceleration of thin foils with circularly polarized laser pulses (2007, background): “In terms of simple numbers, any laser capable of > 107Jcm−2 should therefore be able to accelerate sub-micron foils to a monoenergetic beam with energies in excess of 1 MeV and should provide a much more favourable intensity scaling than TNSA (which scales ∝ I1/2) in most cases.”
- Ion acceleration by superintense laser-plasma interaction (2013, methodology): “More recent works stimulated by the TNSA experiments include Kovalev and Bychenkov (2003), Mora (2003, 2005), Betti et al. (2005), Ceccherini et al. (2006), and Peano et al. (2007).”
