Popis: The proton radiography diagnostic is widely used in laser-plasma experiments to make magnetic field measurements. Recent developments in analysis have enabled quantitative reconstruction of path-integrated magnetic field values, but making conclusions about the three-dimensional structure of the fields remains challenging. In this Letter we propose and demonstrate in kinetic simulations a novel target geometry which makes possible the production of multiple proton beams from a single laser pulse, enabling the application of tomographic methods to proton radiography.
