Proton deflectometry analysis in magnetized plasmas: magnetic field reconstruction in one dimension
arXiv:2309.16165 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.110.015206
Abstract
Proton deflectometry is increasingly used in magnetized high-energy-density plasmas to observe electromagnetic fields. We describe a reconstruction algorithm to recover the electromagnetic fields from proton fluence data in 1-D. The algorithm is verified against analytic solutions and applied to example data. Secondly, we study the role of source fluence uncertainty for 1-D reconstructions. We show that reconstruction boundary conditions can be used to constrain the source fluence profile, and use this to develop a reconstruction using a specified pair of boundary conditions on the magnetic field. From these considerations we experimentally demonstrate a hybrid mesh-fluence reconstruction technique where fields are reconstructed from fluence data in an interior region with boundary conditions supplied by direct mesh measurements at the boundary.
