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…
Density determinations in heavy ion collisions
G. Röpke, S. Shlomo, A. Bonasera +12
The experimental determination of freeze-out temperatures and densities from the yields of light elements emitted in heavy ion collisions is discussed. Results from different exper…
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…
