AB  - We performed a set of down-scaled simulations* following a target modular approach to understand the individual effect of each target component on proton focusing.Complete hemispheres inserted inside cones show promising focusing dynamics when extrapolated to full scale targets.Matching the hemisphere diameter with the laser focal spot seems essential for optimizing proton focusing [1]. To further understand this feature, we performed a set of simulations of downscaledfree-standing hemispherical foils.<br>[1] Kemp et al., Phys. Plasmas 31 (2024)
