The improvement of laser-driven proton energy with the use of nano-structured hemispherical targets of 100nm thickness over conventional flat foil has been reported in this work. The curvature of the target is found to result in focussed particle density at the center of the hemispherical target followed by emergence of energetic ions due to combined action of sheath electric field and ambipolar expansion. The presence of nano-rods on the curved hemispherical target further increases the laser energy absorption by the electrons, thus resulting in increase in the maximum proton energy. Use of hemispherical target embedded with nanorods is possibly reported here for the first time that may generate protons with energy ∽100 MeV by using Linearly Polarised(LP) laser of intensity 1021 W/cm2 and pulse duration of 30fs. At this laser intensity, the energy gain by the protons is significantly high compared to the conventional flat foil targets. The maximum proton energy can be increased further by using truncated hemispherical target of similar parameter.
