abstract = {We recently proposed a new technique of plasma tailoring by
laser-driven hydrodynamic shockwaves generated on both sides
of a gas jet [J.-R. Marquès et al., Phys. Plasmas 28,
023103 (2021)]. In the continuation of this numerical work,
we studied experimentally the influence of the tailoring on
proton acceleration driven by a high-intensity
picosecond-laser, in three cases: without tailoring, by
tailoring only the entrance side of the ps-laser, or both
sides of the gas jet. Without tailoring the acceleration is
transverse to the laser axis, with a low-energy exponential
spectrum, produced by Coulomb explosion. When the front side
of the gas jet is tailored, a forward acceleration appears,
that is significantly enhanced when both the front and back
sides of the plasma are tailored. This forward acceleration
produces higher energy protons, with a peaked spectrum, and
is in good agreement with the mechanism of Collisionless
Shock Acceleration (CSA). The spatio-temporal evolution of
the plasma profile was characterized by optical shadowgraphy
of a probe beam. The refraction and absorption of this beam
was simulated by post-processing 3D hydrodynamic simulations
of the plasma tailoring. Comparison with the experimental
results allowed to estimate the thickness and near-critical
density of the plasma slab produced by tailoring both sides
of the gas jet. These parameters are in good agreement with
those required for CSA.},
