In this paper, we address the mechanism of the generation of images of micro-grooves machined into the rear surface of the target with laser-accelerated protons.
Lowering of green fluorescence by constant red fluorescence possibly indicates exhaustion of the proton-pumping machinery in phagolysosomes occupied by indigestible particles.
The changes in the target emission coordinates and the decrease of the partial beam divergence with increasing proton energy are shown.
The coordinates of the proton sources represented by four quadrangles are (0, 195), (0, 495), (0, 990), and (390, 0).
The proton beam was applied to probing large-scale laserproduced plasmas, both in face-on and side-on configurations.
