Abstract

The high-energy petawatt PETAL laser system was commissioned at CEA’s Laser Mégajoule facility during the 2017–2018 period. This paper reports in detail on the first experimental results obtained at PETAL on energetic particle and photon generation from solid foil targets, with special emphasis on proton acceleration. Despite a moderately relativistic (
