Enhancing Neutron Measurement Accuracy with Bubble Detectors at Laser-Driven Neutron Sources
Stefan Scheuren, Maria Angeles Millán-Callado, Jonas Kohl +9
Bubble detectors are widely used to measure neutron flux from laser-driven sources employing a pitcher-catcher setup, due to their insensitivity to intense -ray backgrounds and…
Single-event neutron time-of-flight spectroscopy with a petawatt-laser-driven neutron source
M. A. Millán-Callado, S. Scheuren, A. Alejo +22
Fast neutron-induced nuclear reactions are crucial for advancing our understanding of fundamental nuclear processes, stellar nucleosynthesis, and applications, including reactor sa…
Dynamic convergent shock compression initiated by return current in high-intensity laser solid interactions
Long Yang, Martin Rehwald, Thomas Kluge +6
We investigate the dynamics of convergent shock compression in the solid wire targets irradiated by an ultra-fast relativistic laser pulse. Our Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations a…
Time-resolved optical shadowgraphy of solid hydrogen jets as a testbed to benchmark particle-in-cell simulations
Long Yang, Lingen Huang, Stefan Assenbaum +11
Particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations are a superior tool to model kinetics-dominated plasmas in relativistic and ultrarelativistic laser-solid interactions (dimensionless vectorpoten…
