Reduction of proton acceleration in high-intensity laser interaction with solid two-layer targets

Reduction of proton acceleration in the interaction of a high-intensity, piosecond laser with a 50-μm aluminum target was observed when 0.1-6 μm of plastic was deposited on the back surface (opposite side of the laser). The maximum energy and number of energetic protons observed at the back of the t...
