Proton acceleration from high-intensity laser interactions with thin foil targets

Experiments were performed to distinguish between the origin of various structures present in the energetic proton signal at the rear of the target in high power laser-solid interactions. Three distinct proton populations that contribute to the signal observed on the detectors were identified.
