Particle-in-cell simulations are an efficient tool in the research of laser-plasma
interactions. They enable to study physical phenomena with a high temporal
and spatial resolution and, thus, help with the interpretation of experimental
results and/or with theoretical predictions. This habilitation thesis summarizes
the contribution of the author in the field of ion acceleration by ultrashort laser
pulses mostly based on the simulations. After a brief description of the simu lation method and various ion acceleration mechanisms, it focuses on authors’
main results in this field in the form of his commented articles published in
impacted journals. Finally, research topics possibly investigated in the future
and related to previous author’s work are briefly discussed.
