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…
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…
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…
