In this work we experimentally and theoretically report on the energy cutoff scaling law for proton generation from bulk targets over one decade of intensity ranging from 5x10^18 to 5x10^19 W/cm2 in the ultra-short pulse duration regime (25 fs). Assuming the same experimental conditions and that the physics does not change for higher intensities, we extrapolate that 100 MeV could be reached using 500 TW ultra-high-contrast-ultra short laser pulses.

Abstract

In this work we experimentally and theoretically report on the energy cutoff scaling law for proton generation from bulk targets over one decade of intensity ranging from 5x10^18 to 5x10^19 W/cm2 in the ultra-short pulse duration regime (25 fs). Assuming the same experimental conditions and that the physics does not change for higher intensities, we extrapolate that 100 MeV could be reached using 500 TW ultra-high-contrast-ultra short laser pulses.
