Imaging plates are widely used in laser-plasma interaction experiments for detection of
electrons, x-ray, gamma-ray, ions, and neutrons, therefore, the calibration of imaging plates …

Significant challenges in the detection of laser-accelerated ions result from the high flux (10
10-10 12 ions/pulse) and the short bunch duration which are intrinsic to laser-driven …

The Time-of-Flight (TOF) technique coupled with semiconductorlike detectors, as silicon
carbide and diamond, is one of the most promising diagnostic methods for high-energy, high …

Electron–positron pairs, produced in intense laser–solid interactions, are diagnosed using
magnetic spectrometers with image plates, such as the National Ignition Facility Electron …

Particle counting analysis is a possible way to characterize GeV-scale, multi-species ions
produced in laser-driven experiments. We present a multi-layered scintillation detector to …

Thomson spectrometers (TS) are designed to detect and distinguish protons from heavier
ions in experiments of intense laser-matter interaction. The combination of electric and …

A compact scintillator-based electron–ion Thomson Parabola Spectrometer (ei-TPS) is
designed and built up, which is able to measure the spectrum of electron and ion beams …

The SEPAGE diagnostic will detect charged particles (electrons, protons, and ions)
accelerated in the interaction of the PETAL (PETawatt Aquitaine Laser) laser with its targets …

We propose novel spectrometer designs that aim to enhance the measured spectral range
of ions on a finite-sized detector. In contrast to the traditional devices that use a uniform …

Unconfined high-energy-density laser plasmas are known to emit broadband ion spectra in
terms of species and their kinetic energy. The diagnostic of choice is often the Thomson …
