Abstract

This paper reports the results of a series of experiments on laser generated ions using the 100 TW laser at the 'Laboratiore pour l'Utilisation des Lasers Intenses (LULI)' at the École Polythechnique in Palaiseau, France, and the 30 TW 'Trident' facility at Los Alamos National Laboratories in New Mexico, USA. It shows the importance of the 'Target Normal Sheath Acceleration' process (TNSA) for short pulse laser generated ion beams and its connection to the influence of target properties on the ion beam quality. It is shown that TNSA-generated protons form an ion beam with superior beam quality, following versatile spatial beam shaping approaches. These insights are set into perspective for a fast ignitor scenario based on short pulse laser generated protons.
