Studying the interaction of ultrashort, intense laser pulses with solid targets

This thesis experimentally investigates laser-driven proton acceleration in the regime of target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) using ultrashort (pulse duration τL = 30 fs), high power (∼100TW) laser pulses. The work focuses on how the temporal intensity profile of the ultrashort laser pulse infl...
