The detection of the ionic products of low-rate fusion reactions, and in particular of the 11B
(p, α) 2α, is one of the recognized main problems in experiments where these reactions are …

Matter-antimatter plasmas, such as electron-positron pair plasmas, are frequently observed
in various astrophysical phenomena. In laboratory settings, electron-positron pairs have …

We examined electron–positron pair production in solid iron, zinc, tungsten, and lead targets
irradiated by a laser-accelerated electron beam generated with a 100 TW laser. These …

In an experiment carried out at the Prague Asterix Laser System at laser intensities relevant
to shock ignition conditions (I> 10 16 W/cm 2), the heating and transport of hot electrons …

We report on planar target experiments conducted on the OMEGA-EP laser facility
performed in the context of the shock ignition (SI) approach to inertial confinement fusion …

This paper describes the results of a series of experiments conducted with the PALS laser at
intensities of interest for the shock ignition approach to inertial fusion. In particular, we …

Abstract In the Shock Ignition scheme, the spike pulse intensity is well above the threshold of
parametric instabilities, which produce a considerable amount of hot electrons that could be …

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 …

The simultaneous measurement of the spatial profile and spectrum of laser-accelerated
protons is important for further optimization of the beam qualities and applications. We report …

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 …
