The generation,detection,and quantification of high-energy proton spectra that are produced from laser-target interaction methodologies is a field of increasingly growing popularity over the last 20 years.Generation methods such as target normal sheath acceleration or similar allow for collimated laminar ion beams to be produced in a compact environment through the use of short-burst terawatt lasers and are a growing field of investment.This project details and refinement of a python-based code to analyze time-of-flight ion spectroscopy data,with the intent to pinpoint the maximum proton energy within the incident beam to as reliable and accurate a value as possible within a feasible processing time.TOF data for 2.2×1016 W/cm2 intensity laser shots incident on a 2mm Cu target that were gathered from the PERLA 1kHz laser at the HiLASE center were used as training and testing data with the implementation of basic machine learning techniques to train these methods to the data being used.
