Proton light yield of fast plastic scintillators for neutron imaging
J. J. Manfredi, B. L. Goldblum, T. A. Laplace +6
Plastic organic scintillators have been tailored in composition to achieve ultra-fast temporal response, thereby enabling the design and development of fast neutron detection syste…
Neutron Response of the EJ-254 Boron-Loaded Plastic Scintillator
Gino Gabella, Bethany L. Goldblum, Thibault A. Laplace +4
Organic scintillators doped with capture agents provide a detectable signal for neutrons over a broad energy range. This work characterizes the fast and slow neutron response of EJ…
Beam Distortion Effects upon focusing an ultrashort Petawatt Laser Pulse to greater than 10 W/cm
Ganesh Tiwari, Erhard Gaul, Mikael Martinez +15
When an ultrashort laser pulse is tightly focused to a size approaching its central wavelength, the properties of the focused spot diverge from the diffraction limited case. Here w…
High-angle Deflection of the Energetic Electrons by a Voluminous Magnetic Structure in Near-normal Intense Laser-plasma Interactions
J. Peebles, A. V. Arefiev, S. Zhang +14
The physics governing electron acceleration by a relativistically intense laser are not confined to the critical density surface, they also pervade the sub-critical plasma in front…
Bright 5 - 85 MeV Compton gamma-ray pulses from GeV laser-plasma accelerator and plasma mirror
J. M. Shaw, A. C. Bernstein, R. Zgadzaj +19
We convert a GeV laser-plasma electron accelerator into a compact femtosecond-pulsed -ray source by inserting a m-thick glass plate cm after the accelerator exit.…
