Proton acceleration from targets irradiated by ultraintense high-contrast laser pulses in the SOKOL-P facility

Results of experiments on proton acceleration from aluminum foils and organic films irradiated by laser pulses with intensities of up to 2 × 10 19 W/cm 2 are presented. To prevent thin targets from destruction by the superluminescence prepulse, a fast light shutter based on a Pockels cell was introd...
