Abstract
The results of the investigations of ion emission from targets of medium and high atomic numbers irradiated by 1 ps laser pulse of intensity up to 5×1016 W/cm2 are presented. The generation of high energy (up to 1 MeV) highly charged heavy ions (Ta+38, Au+33), as well as Ar-like Ag ions and fully striped Al ions is demonstrated. Some properties of ion fluxes emitted from picosecond laser-produced high-z plasmas are determined.Keywords
