Effect of Nozzle Curvature on Supersonic Gas Jets Used in Laser-Plasma Acceleration
Ocean Zhou, Hai-En Tsai, Tobias M. Ostermayr +5
Supersonic gas jets produced by converging-diverging (C-D) nozzles are commonly used as targets for laser-plasma acceleration (LPA) experiments. A major point of interest for these…
A novel approach to electron data background treatment in an online wide-angle spectrometer for laser-accelerated ion and electron bunches
F. H. Lindner, J. H. Bin, F. Englbrecht +12
Laser-based ion acceleration is driven by electrical fields emerging when target electrons absorb laser energy and consecutively leave the target material. A direct correlation bet…
En-route to the fission-fusion reaction mechanism: a status update on laser-driven heavy ion acceleration
F. H. Lindner, E. McCary, X. Jiao +6
The fission-fusion reaction mechanism was proposed in order to generate extremely neutron-rich nuclei close to the waiting point N = 126 of the rapid neutron capture nucleosynthesi…
Temporally Resolved Intensity Contouring (TRIC) for characterization of the absolute spatio-temporal intensity distribution of a relativistic, femtosecond laser pulse
Daniel Haffa, Jianhui Bin, Martin Speicher +6
Today's high-power laser systems are capable of reaching photon intensities up to W/cm^2, generating plasmas when interacting with material. The high intensity and ultras…
I-BEAT: New ultrasonic method for single bunch measurement of ion energy distribution
Daniel Haffa, Rong Yang, Jianhui Bin +31
The shape of a wave carries all information about the spatial and temporal structure of its source, given that the medium and its properties are known. Most modern imaging methods…
