Аннотация:Ion beam acceleration is simulated using a one-dimensional 1D2P PIC code. The dependences of the maximum energy and width of the energy spectrum of the generated ion beams on the duration and intensity of laser radiation, as well as on the target parameters (thickness and number of layers, types and densities of atoms), are investigated. The optimal target configuration at which the energy of the accelerated ions is maximum (5-160 MeV for intensities of 5 x 10(18)-5 x 10(20) W/cm(2)) is found. The optimal target configuration is shown to depend on the intensity and be independent of the laser pulse duration.
