The interaction of high-intensity, picosecond, 1.06 {mu}m laser pulses at peak intensity up to 4{center_dot}10{sup 17} W/cm{sup 2} with solid metal targets is studied by measurements of the absorption and fast particle generation with Ulbricht sphere and time-of-flight charge collectors and X-ray spectrometer measurements. Measurements are presented for both s and p-polarization.
