Abstract
The issues of the influence of geometric conditions of laser radiation focusing on the surface of the plasma-forming target of an laser-plasma ion source are considered. In particular, the presence of two ion emission maxima in the region of the laser radiation flux density exceeding 1011 W/m2 has been experimentally established. A possible interpretation of this effect is proposed.
