A series of experiments were carried out using the 200 TW laser facility at LLP, SJTU aiming to explore parametric scalings driven protons employing a low cost and stable high repetition rate tape drive target system. For numerous shots ∼0.2 Hz with maximum intensity up ∼5 × 1019 W/cm2 energy measured by varying energy, focal spot size pulse duration. The data suggests that scales as I∼0.6 while changing incident energy. Scaling trends are in good agreement previously reported experimental results theoretical models. This study may provide platform investigate characteristics proton beams, such source angular dispersion required for many potential applications.
