Ion acceleration from micrometric targets immersed in an intense laser field

Abstract Flat foils are routinely used as targets for generating proton beams upon irradiation by an intense laser pulse. The acceleration mechanisms and how the proton energies scale with the laser parameters are well understood. Here we report on an experimental study of proton acceleration by int...
