Ion acceleration by fs laser in target-normal-sheath-acceleration regime and comparison of time-of-flight spectra with particle-in-cell simulations

The ions acceleration through an fs laser irradiating a reduced graphene oxide foil in a target-normal-sheath-acceleration regime is investigated using a SiC detector connected in time-of-flight configuration. The experimental data indicated maximum proton energy of 1.8 MeV and a large number of car...
