(A) Simulated maximum temperature vs. distance from the proton source for a ceramic artifact when irradiated with the laser-generated proton beam as obtained on the TITAN laser (MB indicates the melting point of 1600 °C). (B) Temperature maps, obtained with the Monte Carlo code, of a silver, marble, and ceramic sample irradiated by the laser-generated proton beam as obtained on the TITAN laser. The images show the temperature 50 ps after irradiation. The target is located at 6 cm from the proton source. The 0 level in the figure indicates the target surface in front of the proton beam, with the protons impinging from the top. Only the first 100 μm of the target surface are shown.
