Experimental and simulative study on laser irradiation of 3D-printed micro-structures at intensities relevant for inertial confinement fusion
M. Cipriani, F. Consoli, M. Scisciò +7
Inertial confinement fusion requires a constant search for the most effective materials for improving the efficiency of the compression of the capsule and of the laser-to-target en…
Laser initiated p-11B fusion reactions in petawatt high-repetition-rates laser facilities
M. Scisciò, G. Petringa, Z. Zhu +43
Driving the nuclear fusion reaction p+11B -> 3 alpha + 8.7 MeV in laboratory conditions, by interaction between high-power laser pulses and matter, has become a popular field of re…
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…
Time-Of-Flight methodologies with large-area diamond detectors for ion characterization in laser-driven experiments
M. Salvadori, G. Di Giorgio, M. Cipriani +13
Time-Of-Flight (TOF) technique coupled with semiconductor detectors is a powerful instrument to provide real-time characterization of ions accelerated because of laser-matter inter…
Accurate spectra for high energy ions by advanced time-of-flight diamond-detector schemes in experiments with high energy and intensity lasers
M. Salvadori, F. Consoli, C. Verona +15
Time-Of-Flight (TOF) methods are very effective to detect particles accelerated in laser-plasma interactions, but they shows significant limitations when used in experiments with h…
Model-independent determination of the astrophysical S-factor in laser-induced fusion plasmas
D. Lattuada, M. Barbarino, A. Bonasera +16
In this work, we present a new and general method for measuring the astrophysical S-factor of nuclear reactions in laser-induced plasmas and we apply it to d(d,n)He. The expe…
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…
