Recent theoretical and experimental studies point to better efficiency of laser-driven ion acceleration when approaching the critical plasma density regime. Simultaneously, this is the condition for observing solitons: "bubble"-like quasi-stationary plasma formations with laser radiation trapped inside. Exploring this regime with ultra-intense solid state lasers is problematic due to the lack of plasma sources and imaging methods at ∼1021 cm-3 electron density. The terawatt picosecond CO2 laser operated at Brookhaven's Accelerator Test Facility offers a solution to this problem. At the 10 μm laser wavelength, the critical plasma density is 1019 cm-3, which is attainable with gas jets and can be optically probed with visible light. Capitalizing on this approach, we focused a circular-polarized CO2 laser beam with α0=0.5 onto a hydrogen gas jet and observed monoenergetic proton beams in the 1 MeV range. Simultaneously, the laser/plasma interaction region has been optically probed with a 2nd harmonic picosecond Nd:YAG laser to reveal hole boring and stationary soliton-like plasma formations. 2D PIC simulations agree with experimental results and aid in their interpretation.
