Target normal sheath acceleration of protons using triple-layer target with long preplasma

Target-normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) of monoenergetic proton bunches using a triple-layer target consisting of a long slightly-above-critical-density carbon preplasma, a thin solid-density carbon main target layer, and a thin hydrogen layer attached to its back, is considered. The target-back sp...
