The field of nuclear diagnostics for Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) is broadly reviewed
from its beginning in the seventies to present day. During this time, the sophistication of the …

Ongoing developments in laser-driven ion acceleration warrant appropriate modifications to
the standard Thomson Parabola Spectrometer (TPS) arrangement in order to match the …

Protontherapy has emerged as more effective in the treatment of certain tumors than photon
based therapies. However, significant capital and operational costs make protontherapy less …

MeV-range ions generated in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and high-energy-density
physics experiments carry a wealth of information, including fusion reaction yield, rate, and …

This article reports the development, construction, and experimental test of an angle-
resolved Thomson parabola (TP) spectrometer for laser-accelerated multi-MeV ion beams in …

We present the development of a compact Thomson parabola ion spectrometer capable of
characterizing the energy spectra of various ion species of multi-MeV ion beams from> 1 0 …

Large signals of charged light mesons are observed in the laser-induced particle flux from
ultra-dense hydrogen H (0) layers. The mesons are formed in such layers on metal surfaces …

Charged particle spectrometry is a critical diagnostic to study inertial-confinement-fusion
plasmas and high energy density plasmas. The OMEGA Laser Facility has two fixed …

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 …

Laser-based accelerators are gaining interest in recent years as an alternative to
conventional machines [1]. In the actual ion acceleration scheme, energy and angular …
