The Multi-Probe Radiography campaign will field a full day of experiments at the Omega EP laser facility. The experiments will consist of shots that alternate between Omega EP’s two short-pulse laser beams to generate proton and deuteron beams from a variety of film and foam targets. The proton beam is intended to be used as a radiographic source, while the deuteron beam will be used as the pitcher in a pitcher-catcher neutron-generation concept. For the proton beam, our goal is to characterize the angular distribution and energy spectra of unwanted x-rays that are generated during proton acceleration and were found to be problematic for simultaneous radiography in MP-22A. As part of this primary goal, we will test whether an x-ray shield, XBLK, can be used to prevent these x-rays from impacting other x-ray diagnostics. For the deuteron beam, our primary goal is to characterize the energy spectra and beam profile of deuterons accelerated from CD foils and foams.
