Laser-driven high-energy proton beam with homogeneous spatial profile from a nanosphere target
A high-energy, high-yield proton beam with a good homogeneous profile has been generated from a nanosphere target irradiated by a short (30-fs), intense (7×10^{20} W/cm^{2}) laser pulse. A maximum proton energy of 30 MeV has been observed with a high proton number of 7×10^{10} in the energy range 5...
