摘要：

The results of generation of fast protons from 5-mum-thick copper foil targets by 60 fs laser irradiation at 1.5x10(17) W/cm(2) are presented. Both polyvinylmethylether (PVME)-coated and uncoated copper foil targets are examined. Fast protons are measured using a Thomson mass spectrometer and maximum proton energies are 570 and 280 keV for the PVME-coated and the uncoated target, respectively. The intensity of fast protons with energy of 160 keV from the PVME-coated target is approximately 80-fold higher than that from the uncoated target. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
