When the laser intensity ishigher than1016 W cm2 , laser - matter interaction into the laser - plasma interactionareas for under the irradiation of so intense laser material is rapidly ionized to form a plasma. High-energy ions can be obtained through intense laser-plasma interaction, which can be applied to treatment of cancer in medicine, to produce hot dense matter, to achieve inertial confinement fusion ignition, to research no astrophysics and particle physics . Now, has been known for the mechanism of laser-driven ion acceleration mechanisms include: radiation pressure acceleration mechanism (RPA) , the target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) mechanism, collision-free static shock acceleration
