      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).},
