Protons acceleration in thin CH foils by ultra-intense femtosecond laser pulses
- Institute on Laser and Information Technologies, 1 Svyatoozerskaya Str., Shatura, Moscow region 140700 (Russian Federation)
Interaction of femtosecond laser pulses with the intensities 10{sup 21}, 10{sup 22 }W/cm{sup 2} with CH plastic foils is studied in the framework of kinetic theory of laser plasma based on the construction of propagators (in classical limit) for electron and ion distribution functions in plasmas. The calculations have been performed for real densities and charges of plasma ions. Protons are accelerated both in the direction of laser pulse (up to 1 GeV) and in the opposite direction (more than 5 GeV). The mechanisms of forward acceleration are different for various intensities.
