Measurement of the plasma astrophysical S factor for the 3He(D, p)4He reaction in exploding molecular clusters
M. Barbui, W. Bang, A. Bonasera +18
The plasma astrophysical S factor for the 3He(D, p)4He fusion reaction was measured for the first time at temperatures of few keV, using the interaction of intense ultrafast laser…
Laser-driven ion and electron acceleration from near-critical density gas targets: towards high-repetition rate operation in the 1 PW, sub-100 fs laser interaction regime
V. Ospina-Bohórquez, C. Salgado-López, M. Ehret +34
Ion acceleration from gaseous targets driven by relativistic-intensity lasers was demonstrated as early as the late 90s, yet most of the experiments conducted to date have involved…
Collisionless Shock Acceleration of protons in a plasma slab produced in a gas jet by the collision of two laser-driven hydrodynamic shockwaves
J. -R. Marquès, L. Lancia, P. Loiseau +11
We recently proposed a new technique of plasma tailoring by laser-driven hydrodynamic shockwaves generated on both sides of a gas jet [J.-R. Marquès et al., Phys. Plasmas 28, 0231…
Time-Of-Flight methodologies with large-area diamond detectors for the effectively characterization of tens of MeV protons
M. Salvadori, P. L. Andreoli, M. Cipriani +11
A novel detector based on a polycrystalline diamond sensor is here employed in an advanced Time-Of-Flight scheme for the characterization of energetic ions accelerated during laser…
Model-independent determination of the astrophysical S-factor in laser-induced fusion plasmas
D. Lattuada, M. Barbarino, A. Bonasera +16
In this work, we present a new and general method for measuring the astrophysical S-factor of nuclear reactions in laser-induced plasmas and we apply it to d(d,n)He. The expe…
Experimental and simulative study on laser irradiation of 3D-printed micro-structures at intensities relevant for inertial confinement fusion
M. Cipriani, F. Consoli, M. Scisciò +7
Inertial confinement fusion requires a constant search for the most effective materials for improving the efficiency of the compression of the capsule and of the laser-to-target en…
