Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 3128–3131 (1996)Fast Ion Production by Laser Filamentation in Laser-Produced PlasmasReceived 20 November 1995; published in the issue dated 22 April 1996 Production of protons with energies of ∼20 keV have been observed to originate from the interaction of a high intensity laser with a preformed underdense plasma. The energy and distribution of ions are explained by acceleration by the ponderomotive force resulting from filamentation. © 1996 The American Physical Society URL:
