One of the simplest schemes for proton sources for applications is sheath acceleration, for which different established models predict varying dependence on laser and target parameters, motivating experimental investigation. We will present experimental data investigating sheath driven proton acceleration using the ultra-high intensity, high contrast J-KAREN-P laser. A ~10 J, 40 fs pulse was focused to an intensity ~5x1021 Wcm-2, generating protons up to 50 MeV from freestanding ~μm foils, and up to 40 MeV at 0.1 Hz from a 5 μm tape target, with conversion efficiencies >1% into protons above 10 MeV. Scaling with different methods of laser intensity variation will be discussed. Simultaneous measurement of the electron distribution and optical probing of plasma formation on the rear target surface provide insights into electron absorption. In particular, target irradiation at 45º angle of incidence is shown to produce a systematic asymmetry in both rear surface sheath formation and resultant proton distribution due to the initial non-thermal electron distribution, causing the highest energy protons to be steered partly towards the laser axis., EAAC2017参加}, title = {Experimental investigation of laser-driven proton sheath acceleration in the ultra-short pulse, ultra-high intensity regime}, year = {2017} }
