Recent experiments on laser-ion-acceleration out of ultra-thin plastic foils performed at the JETI laser system in Jena show intriguing new results on collective multi-ion acceleration. We observe a mixed acceleration regime partly based on radiation-pressure acceleration (RPA) and Coulomb-explosion (CE). A detailed 2D PIC simulation supports our observations. Scans on different parameters like ellipticity and intensity allow a detailed understanding of the observed effects. In addition we improve the well known target-normal-sheath acceleration (TNSA) in case of using fully circular polarized light.
