Measurements of Energetic Proton Transport through Magnetized Plasma from Intense Laser Interactions with Solids

Protons with energies up to 18 MeV have been measured from high density laser-plasma interactions at incident laser intensities of 5 × 1019 W/cm2. Up to 1012 protons with energies greater than 2 MeV were observed to propagate through a 125 μm thick aluminum target and measurements of their angular d...
