Abstract

We successfully demonstrated laser-driven ion acceleration with cryogenic hydrogen targets at PHELIX. By using short pulses with200 Ji n500 fs and theuOPA high contrast option [1] an intensity on target of around 5 · 10 20 W/cm 2 was obtained. This enabled the acceleration of ions from cryogenic hydrogen targets and plastic targets with energies up to 65 MeV/nucleon for protons, setting a new record for laser-driven ion acceleration at PHELIX.
