Effect of density gradients on the generation of a highly energetic and strongly collimated proton beam from a laser-irradiated Gaussian-shaped hydrogen microsphere

An investigation is made on the influence of the sharpness of the density gradients on the generation of energetic protons in a radially Gaussian density profile of a spherical hydrogen plasma. It is possible to create such density gradients by impinging a solid density target with a secondary lower...
