Abstract:
Electron and ion emission to a few MeV with laser intensities close to the relativistic intensities are well studied. The question we ask is about the possibility of tuning the compact charge particle acceleration schemes to generate neutral atoms beam of high-flux, low-emittance and in length scales of less than a millimeter. In the past few years we have succeeded in turning intense lasers to be also efficient neutralisers to device compact neutral atom accelerators. I present our latest results on this frontier. <br style="\\"color:" rgb(0,="" 0,="" 0);="" font-family:="" monospace;="" font-size:="" medium;\\"="">
