Energetic heavy-ion and proton generation from ultraintense laser-plasma interactions with solids

The ultraintense laser plasma interaction experiments have produced observations of new phenomenon such as: the acceleration of electrons to high energies; production of intense proton beams; and the generation of magnetic fields. Observations of proton emission indicate significant structure in the...

الملخص:The ultraintense laser plasma interaction experiments have produced observations of new phenomenon such as: the acceleration of electrons to high energies; production of intense proton beams; and the generation of magnetic fields. Observations of proton emission indicate significant structure in the energy spectrum and angular emission profile which varies with energy. The two different components of ion emission observed are a high energy component and a low energy component.
