Design of an Active Thomson Parabola for the detection of ions accelerated by laser: Numerical simulations and characterization of different solutions
A. Huber, D. Raffestin, F. Hannachi +6
This article describes the development of an active Thomson Parabola ion spectrometer designed to measure the energy spectra of different multi-MeV ion species generated in laser-p…
Towards direct spatial and intensity characterization of ultra-high intensity laser pulses using ponderomotive scattering of free electrons
A. Longman, S. Ravichandran, L. Manzo +12
Spatial distributions of electrons ionized and scattered from ultra-low pressure gases are proposed and experimentally demonstrated as a method to directly measure the intensity of…
Imaging electron angular distributions to assess a full-power petawatt-class laser focus
Smrithan Ravichandran, Marine Huault, Roberto Lera +5
We present a novel technique to assess the focal volume of petawatt-class lasers at full power. Our approach exploits quantitative measurement of the angular distribution of electr…
Ion acceleration by an ultrashort laser pulse interacting with a near-critical-density gas jet
M. Ehret, C. Salgado-Lopez, V. Ospina-Bohorquez +28
We demonstrate laser-driven Helium ion acceleration with cut-off energies above 25 MeV and peaked ion number above /MeV for 22(2) MeV projectiles from near-critical density…
Integrated quantitative PIXE analysis and EDX spectroscopy using a laser-driven particle source
F. Mirani, A. Maffini, F. Casamichiela +17
Among the existing elemental characterization techniques, Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy are two of the most widely used in d…
A 2D scintillator based proton detector for HRR experiments
M. Huault, D. De Luis, J. Alpinaniz +7
We present a scintillator based detector able to measure both spatial and energy information at High repetition rate (HRR) with a relatively simple design. It has been built at the…
