Table-top laser systems, using the chirped-pulse amplification (CPA) technique, which were developed in the last decades, are able to reach ultrahigh intensities (above 1018 W=cm2) through the generation of femtosecond laser pulses [1], thus offering new possibilities in the study of relativistic laser-matter interactions [2,3].Among others, laser-driven ion acceleration is one of the most promising and intensively investigated research topics [4], where target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) is the experimentally most investigated technique.
