N2 - Intense, collimated beams of ions were generated by ultra-intense laser interaction with solid targets. The origin of the accelerated ions are the rear, non-irradiated surfaces. The beams are highly directional and emitted always perpendicular to the rear surface. Due to their low emittance, short pulse duration and high intensity, they may become useful for a wealth of applications. We will present a detailed study of the influence of the target conditions on the generation of the ion beams. Based on our experimental results, we will discuss the prospects of tailoring laser accelerated ion beams for different experimental requirements.
