MeVXRay-23A: We aim to increase the laser-driven MeV x-ray yield to ~ 4-6 Rads/shot (~2-3X increase) using novel target designs suitable for weapons radiography [Slides]

The purpose of this experiment is to evaluate enhanced laser-plasma coupling using near-critical foam padded tungsten cube targets and it’s effect on the laser-driven MeV x-ray dose. Compact MeV x-ray sources with <200µm source size in the several Rads/shot are needed for weapons radiography. The goal is to increase laser-driven MeV x-ray dose by ~2-3X.
