Experimental observation and numerical simulations of laser-driven ablation
Journal Article

· Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
A group of fast ablatively driven ions has been observed by Thomson-parabola and Faraday-cup analyses of an expanding plasma produced by focusing energetic 8-nsec Nd:glass-laser pulses onto thick planar targets. Numerical simulations reveal the formation of an ablation structure with characteristics that agree well with the experimental observations.
