PIC simulation results showing the relative number of high energy protons directed toward the laser axis as a function of target thickness. The simulations were performed using a 30 TW laser incident at 20° off-normal. The insert shows the resulting asymmetry of the ion and proton density acceleration directed toward the laser axis for a 50 nm thick target.
