It is found that stable proton acceleration from a thin foil irradiated by a linearly polarized ultraintense laser can be realized for appropriate foil thickness and laser intensity. A dual-peaked electrostatic field, originating from the oscillating and nonoscillating components of the laser ponderomotive force, is formed around the foil surfaces. This field combines radiation-pressure acceleration and target normal sheath acceleration to produce a single quasimonoenergetic ion bunch. A criterion for this mechanism to be operative is obtained and verified by two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation. At a laser intensity of similar to 5.5 x 10(22) W/cm(2), quasimonoenergetic GeV proton bunches are obtained with similar to 100 MeV energy spread, less than 4 degrees spatial divergence, and similar to 50% energy conversion efficiency from the laser.
