Description
Prompted by the possibility1 to produce high energy single cycle laser pulse in the tens of PW intensity (1024W=cm2), we have
investigated laser-matter interaction in the few optical cycle and ultra relativistic intensity regime. A particularly interesting
instability-free regime for ion production was revealed leading to the efficient production of short(fs) monoenergetic ions with a
peak energy greater than GeV. Of paramount importance, the interaction is absent of RTI and hole boring plaguing techniques
as Target Normal Sheath Acceleration (TNSA) and Radiation Pressure Acceleration (RPA).
