En­er­get­ic pro­tons of tens MeV or more pro­duced by in­tense lasers have been ob­served in re­cent ex­per­i­ments and nu­mer­i­cal sim­u­la­tions. Mean­while, sig­nif­i­cant ef­forts have been made to im­prove the pro­ton beam qual­i­ty *,**,***. For most ap­pli­ca­tions, it is im­por­tant to im­prove the qual­i­ty of the pro­ton beam both dur­ing the pro­duc­tion and dur­ing the prop­a­ga­tion. Some schemes are pro­posed to im­prove the qual­i­ty of the pro­ton beam both dur­ing the pro­duc­tion form the laser plas­ma in­ter­ac­tion and dur­ing the prop­a­ga­tion. The physics is in­ves­ti­gat­ed by 2D3V and 3D par­ti­cle-in-cell codes PLASIM and PLASIM3D. In this paper, we pro­pose to use an um­brel­la-like tar­get to ac­cel­er­ate, and col­li­mate pro­tons. It is found that high in­ten­si­ty col­li­mat­ed MeV-pro­ton beams can be pro­duced ****. We also pro­pose a scheme to gen­er­ate quasi-mo­noen­er­get­ic pro­ton beam from the in­ter­ac­tions of an ul­tra-in­tense laser pulse and a thin tai­lored hole tar­get. Par­ti­cle sim­u­la­tion shows that a mo­noen­er­get­ic pro­ton beam is gen­er­at­ed from the hole. The prop­a­ga­tion of a pro­ton beam both in vac­u­um and in a plas­ma is also stud­ied. Com­pared with the prop­a­ga­tion in vac­u­um, the pro­ton beam qual­i­ty can be im­proved ob­vi­ous­ly.
