Abstract

The asymptotic behavior of the fast-ion energy spectra has been studied by using a Thomson parabola ion spectrometer to analyze ionic species produced by a 10.6-μm laser-produced polyethylene plasma. The use of cellulose nitrate film detectors has yielded for the first time quantitative information about the charge state and energy distribution of these high-energy ions as a function of laser energy and beam polarization.
