(color online) The normalized density distributions of the electron and the proton in the 2D simulations. The left column is the result of the NCD target and the right column is of the HD-NCD target. Here, represents the electron density of the HD layer, and denote the densities of the electron and the proton of the NCD layer, respectively. Panels (a1) and (b1) are the results at , panels (a2) and (b2) are at , panels (a3) and (b3) are at , panels (a4) and (b4) are at .
