Characterization of proton and heavier ion acceleration in ultrahigh-intensity laser interactions with heated target foils

The investigation of proton and heavy ion acceleration was carried out in ultrahigh intensity laser plasma interactions using VULCAN lasers. The first spatially integrated measurement of proton and heavy ion acceleration was performed with nuclear activation techniques. High-intensity laser-plasma i...
