Abstract

Structured proton spectra and a two-temperature electron distribution were simulated using a 1D3V particle-in-cell code for a plasma created by 35-fs laser pulses with an intensity of I≥1019 W/cm2. Such a two-temperature electron distribution was used as a prerequisite for a fluid dynamical model allowing us to describe the experimentally measured deep dips in the proton energy spectra of laser-produced plasmas from water-droplet targets.
