Proton Acceleration by Ultrashort Intense Laser Interaction with Microstructured Snow Targets

Proton Acceleration by Ultrashort Intense Laser Interaction with Microstructured Snow Targets

Enhanced proton acceleration to high energy by relatively modest ultrashort laser pulses and structured dynamic plasma snow targets was demonstrated experimentally. High proton yield emitted to narrow solid angle with energies of up 25 MeV were detected from interaction of a 5 TW laser with snow tar...
