In order to achieve a high quality, i. e. monoergetic, intense ion beam, we propose the use of a double layer target. The first layer, at the target front, consists of high-Z atoms, while the second (rear) layer is a thin coating of low-Z atoms. The high quality proton beams from the double layer target, irradiated by an ultra-intense laser pulse, are demonstrated with three dimensional Particle-in-Cell simulations.

- Radiation pressure acceleration of thin foils with circularly polarized laser pulses (2007, background): “[1] and the studies done with the Nova PetaWatt laser [2, 3], there has been considerable interest in the generation of multi-MeV proton beams from thin foil targets irradiated by ultraintense lasers [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11].”
- Laser-driven particle and photon beams and some applications (2010, background): “There is much eager anticipation that proton spectra could reach and surpass the 100 MeV level (Esirkepov et al 2002) when Gemini at RAL becomes operational in 2009 with a possible laser intensity of 1021–22 W cm−2.”
- Laser-plasma acceleration of quasi-monoenergetic protons from microstructured targets (2006, background): “Following this understanding of the mechanism of laser acceleration of protons, Bulanov et al.10,17 pointed out that the resulting proton energy spectrum has a strong correlation to the spatial distribution of the protons on the target surface.”
- Ion acceleration by superintense laser-plasma interaction (2013, methodology): “These results, obtained on the 10 TW JETI laser in Jena, were explained on the basis of the proton depletion approach first suggested by Esirkepov et al. (2002).”
