Abstract
Electron and proton trapping and acceleration by an electron bubble in laser interaction with plasma are investigated by using three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. A nanowire is used to initialize the wave-breaking. Protons can be efficiently accelerated if the plasma consists mainly of heavier ions such as tritium.
