High intensity ion beam generation for ionography from multi-TW picosecond laser pulse interaction with foil targets

It was found that maximum particle output and best possible spatial uniformity of proton beam took place for two-layer target when the front layer was the high-Z film. It was shown that the ion radiography of the convenient objects with using the two-layer targets allow to get the projecting pictures with high spatial resolution that was about one micron. Threshold spatial sensitivity of proton radiography is estimated.
