Efficient laser-driven proton and bremsstrahlung generation from cluster-assembled foam targets

Efficient laser-driven proton and bremsstrahlung generation from cluster-assembled foam targets

The interaction between intense 30 fs laser pulses and foam-coated 1.5 μ m-thick Al foils in the relativistic regime (up to 5 × 10 ^20  W cm ^−2 ) is studied to optimize the laser energy conversion into laser-accelerated protons. A significant enhancement is observed for foam targets in terms of pro...
