摘要
The possibility of accelerating protons by wake fields excited by ultrashort high-power lasers is discussed. The acceleration condition and energy gain of a proton injected in a transverse component of a laser wake field is investigated. The energy gain strongly depends on the initial phase to the laser wake field when protons are injected inside the field.
