TY - JOUR ID - citeulike:5951346 L3 - citeulike-article-id:5951346 N2 - We present some of the results obtained when an ultra-high-intensity ([?]5 x 1018W cm[?]2), ultra-high contrast (>1010) laser pulse interacts with thins foils. Under such conditions, protons accelerated by the target normal sheat acceleration mechanism are observed from both sides of the target and show quasi-symmetric features which have been corroborated by extensive 1D and 2D particle-in-cell simulations. Moreover, we show that due to the very steep gradient of the laser-irradiated surface, the Brunel effect is the main laser energy coupling mechanism.
