Laser-Driven Proton Acceleration from Cryogenic Hydrogen Target
2D particle-in-cell simulation of the interaction of high-intensity laser pulse (parameters are
relevant to L4 laser) with a cryogenic hydrogen target. Only protons with energy above 300 MeV at the
end of the simulation are tracked and their position and energy are visualized. Two different groups of
protons accelerated by different mechanisms can be distinguished from each other in space: Protons
originated from the target interior and from the target rear side.
