Mind your speed: A magnetic brake on proton acceleration

Mind your speed: A magnetic brake on proton acceleration

12:02 AM
An international research team studied high-energy protons emitted from laser-bombarded solids. Recent studies found that higher laser intensities failed to boost the proton energies as much as predicted. By experiment and simulation, the researchers showed that magnetic fields, generated by electrons ejected from the target, inhibited the electric fields responsible for proton acceleration. Strategies for minimizing this inhibition were explored.
