Résumé

Large magnetic fields generated during laser-matter interaction at irradiances of ∼5× 1014 W cm-2 have been measured using a deflectometry technique employing MeV laser-accelerated protons. Azimuthal magnetic fields were identified unambiguously via a characteristic proton deflection pattern and found to have an amplitude of ∼45 T in the outer coronal region. Comparison with magnetohydrodynamic simulations confirms that in this regime the ∇^→ T_e × ∇^→ ne source is the main field generation mechanism, while additional terms are negligible.
