TL;DR: In this article, the authors observed deuterons accelerated to energies of about 2 MeV in the interaction of relativistically intense 10 TW, 400 fs laser pulse with a thin layer of deuterated polystyrene deposited on Mylar film.

TL;DR: Particle-in-cell simulations reveal that the efficient proton acceleration is due to the generation of a quasistatic magnetic field on the target rear side with magnetic pressure inducing and sustaining a charge separation electrostatic field.

TL;DR: In this article, the dependence on laser intensity and pulse duration in energetic proton acceleration by irradiation of ultrashort laser pulses on a 5μm thick copper tape target was measured.

TL;DR: In this article, fast protons are observed by a newly developed online time-of-flight spectrometer, which provides shot-to-shot proton-energy distributions immediately after the irradiation of a laser pulse having an intensity of ∼1018W∕cm2 onto a 5μm-thick copper foil.

TL;DR: In this paper, a system for generating high-energy particles and for inducing nuclear reactions is described, which includes a laser and for emitting a laser beam, an irradiation target for receiving the laser beam and producing high energy particles, and a secondary target to receive the high energy particle and thereby inducing a nuclear reaction.
