We report on measurements of spectra and charge state distributions of ions accelerated from thin foils irradiated by ultrashort (300fs) high-intensity (6×1019W/cm2) laser pulses. The foils were resistively heated to remove the light surface contaminants. Sandwich targets consisting of a 25-µm thick tungsten layer, a 2-nm thin beryllium layer, and again a tungsten layer whose thickness was varied were used. Among the spectra of beryllium ions, peaked energy spectra of oxygen and argon ions corresponding to the equilibrium distribution after propagation through matter were observed [1]. For the found agreement we suggest an explanation in terms of starting positions of the detected ions underneath the rear-surface. Among the sandwich target geometry, a variety of different target materials was investigated to crosscheck spectra and charge state distributions of different elements in terms of the proposed explanation.
