Detailed study of non-equilibrium characteristics of quasi-neutral TNSA plasmas
Zhe Zhu, A. Bonasera, D. Batani +26
In an experiment performed in November 2022 at the petawatt (PW) laser facility at Vega III located in Salamanca-Spain, we have studied the successful production of several radiois…
Radioisotopes production using lasers: from basic science to applications
M. R. D. Rodrigues, A. Bonasera, M. Scisciò +37
Laser technologies improved after the understanding of the Chirped Pulse Amplification (CPA) which allows energetic laser beams to be compressed to tens of femtosecond (fs) pulse d…
Time-Of-Flight methodologies with large-area diamond detectors for the effectively characterization of tens of MeV protons
M. Salvadori, P. L. Andreoli, M. Cipriani +11
A novel detector based on a polycrystalline diamond sensor is here employed in an advanced Time-Of-Flight scheme for the characterization of energetic ions accelerated during laser…
Thermal and chaotic distributions of plasma in laser driven Coulomb explosions of deuterium clusters
M. Barbarino, M. Warrens, A. Bonasera +16
In this work we explore the possibility that the motion of the deuterium ions emitted from Coulomb cluster explosions is chaotic enough to resemble thermalization. We analyze the p…
Experimental study of fusion neutron and proton yields produced by petawatt-laser-irradiated D2-3He or CD4-3He clustering gases
W. Bang, M. Barbui, A. Bonasera +15
We report on experiments in which the Texas Petawatt laser irradiated a mixture of deuterium or deuterated methane clusters and helium-3 gas, generating three types of nuclear fusi…
Measurement of the plasma astrophysical S factor for the 3He(D, p)4He reaction in exploding molecular clusters
M. Barbui, W. Bang, A. Bonasera +18
The plasma astrophysical S factor for the 3He(D, p)4He fusion reaction was measured for the first time at temperatures of few keV, using the interaction of intense ultrafast laser…
Temperature measurements of fusion plasmas produced by petawatt laser-irradiated D2-3He or CD4-3He clustering gases
W. Bang, M. Barbui, A. Bonasera +16
Two different methods have been employed to determine the plasma temperature in a laser-cluster fusion experiment on the Texas Petawatt laser. In the first, the temperature was der…
