Abstract
Results of particle-in-cell simulations of the interaction of an intense femtosecond laser pulse with a thin aluminum foil the front surface of which is covered with a hydrogen preplasma layer are compared with predictions of simple analytical models. It is shown that light pressure may be the most efficient mechanism for proton acceleration in the initial stage of laser-plasma interaction.
