Picosecond metrology of laser-driven proton bursts

Experimental investigations of the response of matter to ionization would require extremely fast ion pump pulses. Here, the authors explore a different approach observing ionisation dynamics in SiO2glass by generating synchronized proton pulses from the interaction of high-power lasers on a solid ta...
