Return current and proton emission from short pulse laser interactions with wire targets

Laser-plasma interaction experiments were conducted using the VULCAN laser at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. The consequence of the return current and measurements of proton generation from the wire targets interacting with short pulse high intensity laser were produced. Optical and x-ray emiss...
