abstract = {A new ion radiation-pressure acceleration regime, the
"leaky light sail," is proposed which uses sub-skin-depth
nanometer foils irradiated by circularly polarized laser
pulses. In the regime, the foil is partially transparent,
continuously leaking electrons out along with the
transmitted laser field. This feature can be exploited by a
multispecies nanofoil configuration to stabilize the
acceleration of the light ion component, supplementing the
latter with an excess of electrons leaked from those
associated with the heavy ions to avoid Coulomb explosion.
It is shown by 2D particle-in-cell simulations that a
monoenergetic proton beam with energy 18 MeV is produced by
circularly polarized lasers at intensities of just 10(19)
W/cm(2). 100 MeV proton beams are obtained by increasing the
intensities to 2 x 10(20) W/cm(2).},
