Protons accelerated in the target normal sheath acceleration regime by a femtosecond laser

Advanced targets based on thin films of graphene oxide covered by metallic layers have been irradiated at high laser intensity (∼10^{19}  W/cm^{2}) with 40 fs laser pulses to investigate the forward ion acceleration in the target normal sheath acceleration regime. A time-of-flight technique was empl...
