Description

Laser driven light-ion acceleration is being investigated for the optimization of ion cut-off energy using the ILIL facility with a laser intensity of up to 2 10^19 W/cm2. The energy spectra of different light-ions accelerated depending on structural characteristics of the target was obtained by means of a Thomson Parabola Spectrometer. Here, we focus our attention to the role of surface and target bulk in the acceleration process.
