Demonstration of fusion-evaporation and direct-interaction nuclear reactions using high-intensity laser-plasma-accelerated ion beams.
Heavy-ion induced nuclear reactions in materials exposed to energetic ions produced from high-intensity (approximately 5 x 10(19) W/cm(2)) laser-solid interactions have been experimentally investigated for the first time. Many of the radionuclides produced result from the creation of "compound nuclei" with the subsequent evaporation of proton, neutron, and alpha particles. Results are compared ...
متن کاملCharacterization of Expanding Laser Plasma Produced by Laser Ablation
This work is devoted to characterizing the plasma produced by nanosecond laser ablation. The expanding plasma was generated by the interaction of a home made XeCl excimer laser with a Cu target. The time-of-flight method was utilized as diagnostic tool of the plasma charged particles. By this method, in fact, we were able to measure the ion and electron currents, the charge-states and the energ...
متن کاملAnnular shaped laser-accelerated proton beams
Since their discovery in 1999 [1] the topic of laseraccelerated ions has attracted high attention both in the field of plasma-physics and in the accelerator community. In a typical laser-accelerated ion scheme a thin metal foil is irradiated by an ultra-intense chirped pulse amplified laser beam which leads to the generation of relativistic electrons. These electrons are accelerated through the...
متن کاملLate-time particle emission from laser-produced graphite plasma
We report a late-time “fireworks-like” particle emission from laser-produced graphite plasma during its evolution. Plasmas were produced using graphite targets excited with 1064 nm Nd: yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) laser in vacuum. The time evolution of graphite plasma was investigated using fast gated imaging and visible emission spectroscopy. The emission dynamics of plasma is rapidly changin...
متن کاملDynamic control of laser-produced proton beams.
The emission characteristics of intense laser driven protons are controlled using ultrastrong (of the order of 10(9) V/m) electrostatic fields varying on a few ps time scale. The field structures are achieved by exploiting the high potential of the target (reaching multi-MV during the laser interaction). Suitably shaped targets result in a reduction in the proton beam divergence, and hence an i...
