Abstract
Abstract We study the problem of the radiation pressure acceleration of ions and the formation of plasma jets, driven by a high-intensity circularly polarized laser beam normally incident on thin plasma targets. We use an Eulerian Vlasov code to solve the one-dimensional relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell equations for both electrons and ions. We consider the case of a high density plasma with n / n cr = 100, where n cr is the critical density. Three cases are studied with different target thicknesses, to investigate the physical processes involved when decreasing the target thickness from several electron skin depths down to the order of one skin depth. The results show a more important acceleration of the ions when the thickness is decreased. Although we observe in all cases a neutral plasma jet ejected from the back of the target, the evolution of the system which leads to the formation of this neutral plasma jet is different in the three cases considered. In each case, this evolution will be studied in details. Also, a leak or ejection of electrons from the back of the target is observed in the thinnest case treated (thickness of the order of the skin depth), before the formation of the neutral plasma jet, a regime called leaky light sail radiation pressure acceleration. The absence of noise in the Eulerian Vlasov code allows an accurate representation of the phase-space structures of the distribution functions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
