Ion acceleration from the shock front induced by hole boring in ultraintense laser-plasma interactions

Abstract:
Ion-acceleration processes were studied in ultraintense laser plasma interactions for normal incidence irradiation of solid targets. Neutron spectroscopy was used for the purpose of analysis. It was found that the ions are preferentially accelerated radially. Results show that the laser pedestal generates a 10 μm scale length in the coronal plasma with a 3 μm scale-length plasma near the critical density.
