Abstract
The detection of highly transient electric charging following ultraintense laser-pulse interaction with solid targets was discussed. A second laser pulse with the same characteristics was focused onto a separate target and the protons were used to probe this interaction. The measurement of the large, highly transient electric fields due to charging of laser-irradiated targets was obtained determining their evolution on a picosecond scale.
