Studies on the high energy ion beams generated in ultraintense laser-plasma interactions has made consider- able progress recently due to the development of high power laser technologies, such as fast ignition of inertial confine- ment fusion, tabletop proton accelerators, and medical applicat/ons. Now the .research of energetic proton is one of the hotspets. In particular the production of intense proton beams from solid target irradiated with lasers with intensities up to 10~ W/cm2 has caused intense research into the proton acceleration mechanism. In this paper, PIC (Particle-in-Cell) simulation of the plasma target on energetic proton acceleration by ultra-intense laser interaction indicated that a change in the plasma target shape directly affects the degree of contraction accelerated proton bunch.
