Abstract: Proton imaging is a recently proposed technique for diagnosis of dense plasmas, which favourably exploits the properties of protons produced by high-intensity laser-matter interaction. The technique allows the distribution of electric fields in plasmas and around laser-irradiated targets to be explored for the first time with high temporal and spatial resolution. This leads to the possibility of investigating as yet unexplored physical issues. In particular we will present measurements of transient electric fields in laser-plasmas and around laser-irradiated targets under various interaction conditions. Complex electric field structures have been observed in long-scale laser-produced plasmas, while global target charge-up and growth of electromagnetic instabilities have been detected following ultraintense interactions with solid targets.
