Abstract
The effect of generation of high-energy protons and carbon nuclei is identified in the threedimensional model of the interaction of a high-power electromagnetic field with plasma with supercritical density by the numerical solution of the Vlasov–Maxwell equations. The effect was first discovered in 2000 in experiments carried out at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (United States) using the petawatt laser.
