Increasing the Efficiency of Laser Acceleration of Protons Using Ultra-Thin Targets
The results of laser acceleration of protons from aluminum targets 6 μm thick and ultra-thin diamond-like carbon films 100 nm thick when they are irradiated with femtosecond laser pulses with a peak intensity of up to 5 × 1020 W/cm2 are presented. It is shown that decreasing the target thickness from 6 μm to 100 nm does not lead to a significant change in the maximum proton energies, but contributes to an increase in the angular yield and the laser energy conversion coefficient. This effect is due to an increase in the number of protons in the low-energy part of the spectra, which is reflected in a twofold increase in the conversion coefficient.
期刊介绍:
Plasma Physics Reports is a peer reviewed journal devoted to plasma physics. The journal covers the following topics: high-temperature plasma physics related to the problem of controlled nuclear fusion based on magnetic and inertial confinement; physics of cosmic plasma, including magnetosphere plasma, sun and stellar plasma, etc.; gas discharge plasma and plasma generated by laser and particle beams. The journal also publishes papers on such related topics as plasma electronics, generation of radiation in plasma, and plasma diagnostics. As well as other original communications, the journal publishes topical reviews and conference proceedings.
