Global Characterization of a Laser-Generated Neutron Source
D. P. Higginson, R. Lelièvre, L. Vassura +17
Laser-driven neutron sources are routinely produced by the interaction of laser-accelerated protons with a converter. They present complementary characteristics to those of convent…
Optimizing laser coupling, matter heating, and particle acceleration from solids using multiplexed ultraintense lasers
Weipeng Yao, Motoaki Nakatsutsumi, Sébastien Buffechoux +20
Realizing the full potential of ultrahigh-intensity lasers for particle and radiation generation will require multi-beam arrangements due to technology limitations. Here, we invest…
Calibration of Time Of Flight Detectors Using Laser-driven Neutron Source
S. R. Mirfayzi, S. Kar, H. Ahmed +17
Calibration of three scintillators (EJ232Q, BC422Q and EJ410) in a time-of-flight (TOF) arrangement using a laser drive-neutron source is presented. The three plastic scintillator…
Selective Deuterium Ion Acceleration Using the Vulcan PW Laser
AG Krygier, JT Morrison, S Kar +17
We report on the successful demonstration of selective acceleration of deuterium ions by target-normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) with a high-energy petawatt laser. TNSA typically…
Characterisation of deuterium spectra from laser driven multi-species sources by employing differentially filtered image plate detectors in Thomson spectrometers
A. Alejo, S. Kar, H. Ahmed +23
A novel method for characterising the full spectrum of deuteron ions emitted by laser driven multi-species ion sources is discussed. The procedure is based on using differential fi…
Evidence of resonant surface wave excitation in the relativistic regime through measurements of proton acceleration from grating targets
T. Ceccotti, V. Floquet, A. Sgattoni +25
The interaction of laser pulses with thin grating targets, having a periodic groove at the irradiated surface, has been experimentally investigated. Ultrahigh contrast ($\sim 10^{1…
