Radiation pressure acceleration of thin foils with circularly polarized laser pulses (2007, background): “[1] and the studies done with the Nova PetaWatt laser [2, 3], there has been considerable interest in the generation of multi-MeV proton beams from thin foil targets irradiated by ultraintense lasers [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11].”

Laser-driven particle and photon beams and some applications (2010, methodology): “A number of authors on the other hand New Journal of Physics 12 (2010) 045005 (http://www.njp.org/) (e.g. Roth et al 2001, Snavely et al 2000) have argued that the energetic protons originate from the rear of the target.”
Ion acceleration by superintense laser-plasma interaction (2013, background): “Peaks and dips in the spectrum were observed at energies of 1 MeV which correlated well with the time of flight of protons reaching the second target as it is irradiated, showing that the field on the second target slightly boosts protons in a given energy range resulting in the spectral modificatio”
The scaling of proton energies in ultrashort pulse laser plasma acceleration (2010, background): “Open circles (11,12,13,14) stand for single shot experiments at the glass laser facilities LLNL NovaPW [27], RAL Vulcan [28], Los Alamos Trident [29, 30] and Phelix GSI [6].”
