Keynote

The plasma shutter is a thin solid foil (or series of them) placed in front of the main target irradiated by high intense laser. It can mitigate the prepulse [1, 2] and also shape the main pulse, resulting in the generation of a steep-rising front [3] and local intensity increase [4] of the pulse. We study the application of the shutter for ion acceleration via 3D PIC simulations assuming...
