A group of fast ablatively driven ions has been observed by Thomson-parabola and Faraday-cup analyses of an expanding plasma produced by focusing energetic 8-nsec Nd: glass-laser pulses onto thick planar targets. Numerical simulations reveal the formation of an ablation structure with characteristics that agree well with the experimental observations.
