Interaction of intense lasers with nm thick targets provides an attractive regime for the
acceleration of ions of all types. Acceleration of heavy ions however is undermined in the …

We present the design and absolute calibration of a charged particle online readout CMOS
system tailored for high-power laser experiments. This system equips a Thomson parabola …

Image plates (IPs) are a quickly recoverable and reusable radiation detector often used to
measure proton and x-ray fluence in laser-driven experiments. Recently, IPs have been …

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 …

Imaging plates (IPs) are valuable tools for measuring the intensity of ionizing radiation such
as x-rays, electrons, and ions. In this work, we measured the sensitivity of IPs to carbon ions …

The multi-decade neutron dosimeter and imaging diagnostic (MDND) is a passive
diagnostic that utilizes the polyethylene (n, p) nuclear reaction to enhance the diagnostic's …

Tightly focused proton beams generated from helical coil targets have been shown to be
highly collimated across small distances, and display characteristic spectral bunching. We …

We present the design and the absolute calibration of charged particle high-repetition-rate
online readout CMOS system tailored for high-power laser experiments. This system equips …

This thesis reports on numerical investigations of laser-solid interactions with peak laser
intensities in the approximate range 1021–1024Wcm− 2, where few experiments have yet …

Since the first studies of target-normal sheath acceleration around the year 2000, production
of energetic ion beams from intense laser-matter interactions has been investigated in great …
