Fig. 6

Measurements of maximum proton energy ℰm,p (green squares) and transmitted 1ω light Ɛtrans (red squares) for different target thicknesses d from experiments at DRACO-PW for a inherent and b plasma mirror cleaned temporal contrast. Reference J-KAREN-P proton energy data (grey squares) is included for comparison. The error bars represent the standard deviation of mean values (squares), stars show maximum values of ℰm,p. Grey circles and triangles show reference ℰm,p and Ɛtrans from the 3D PIC simulations presented in Fig. 3a
