Proton Imaging of High-Energy-Density Laboratory Plasmas

Derek B. Schaeffer, Archie F. A. Bott, Marco Borghesi +8

Proton imaging has become a key diagnostic for measuring electromagnetic fields in high-energy-density (HED) laboratory plasmas. Compared to other techniques for diagnosing fields,…

Spectrally peaked proton beams shock accelerated from an optically shaped overdense gas jet by a near-infrared laser

George S. Hicks, Oliver C. Ettlinger, Marco Borghesi +10

We report on the generation of impurity-free proton beams from an overdense gas jet driven by a near-infrared laser ( ). The gas profile was shaped prior to…
