Abstract

The laminarity of high-current multi-MeV proton beams produced by irradiating thin metallic foils with ultraintense lasers has been measured. For proton energies $>10\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{MeV}$, the transverse and longitudinal emittance are, respectively, $<0.004\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{mm}\text{ }...
