Modeling of a Liquid Leaf Target TNSA Experiment Using Particle-In-Cell Simulations and Deep Learning

Figure 1

Particle energy spectra of hydrogen and oxygen after TNSA PIC simulation of liquid leaf water target. The dotted lines are the corresponding Mora [20] fits for the displayed spectrum. Large deviations from the spectrum (30 MeV and above) can be explained by the multispecies effect. The simulation setup is described in Section 2.2. The investigated features are sharp and their shape varies. One-dimensional simulations have a sharper profile, while higher dimensional ones and real-life experiments are smoother [10, 21].
