Abstract
The process of radiation pressure acceleration (RPA) of ions is
investigated with the aim of suppressing the Rayleigh-Taylor-like
transverse instabilities in laser-foil interaction. This is achieved by
imposing surface and density modulations on the target surface. We also
study the efficacy of RPA of ions from density modulated and structured
targets in the radiation dominated regime where the radiation reaction
effects are important. We show that the use of density modulated and
structured targets and the radiation reaction effects can help in
achieving the twin goals of high ion energy (in GeV range) and lower
energy spread.
