Abstract
We present experimental data and PIC simulations on laser driven ion acceleration in the relativistic transparent regime. We measured carbon C6+ ions energies exceeding 1GeV and proton energies exceeding 100MeV. Conversion efficiency of laser light into ions, beam shape and scaling laws are presented for this regime and compared to the Target Normal Sheath acceleration and Radiation pressure acceleration regime.
