To investigate how different laser prepulse parameters affect proton acceleration driven by femtosecond intense lasers.
Experimental study using femtosecond multi-PW lasers on metal foils
Simulation with one-dimensional hydrodynamic and two-dimensional particle-in-cell models
Analysis of laser intensity and contrast effects on proton cutoffs
Maximum proton beam energy of 58.9 MeV achieved with moderate-contrast laser
Low and high-contrast lasers resulted in lower proton cutoff energies
Front preplasma enhances electron and proton acceleration, while rear preplasma is detrimental to ion acceleration.

Guo et al. (2025) studied this question.
