Abstract

In this paper, the absolute calibration of photostimulable image plates (IPs) used as proton detectors is presented. The calibration is performed in a wide range of proton energies (0.5-20 MeV) by exposing simultaneously the IP and calibrated detectors (radiochromic films and solid state detector CR39) to a source of broadband laser-accelerated protons, which are spectrally resolved. The final result is a calibration curve that enables retrieving the proton number from the IP signal.

Absolute response of Fuji imaging plate detectors to picosecond-electron bunches

Journal Article Zeil, K; Kraft, S; Jochmann, A; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

The characterization of the absolute number of electrons generated by laser wakefield acceleration often relies on absolutely calibrated FUJI imaging plates (IP), although their validity in the regime of extreme peak currents is untested. Here, we present an extensive study on the dependence of the sensitivity of BAS-SR and BAS-MS IP to picosecond electron bunches of varying charge of up to 60 pC, performed at the electron accelerator ELBE, making use of about three orders of magnitude of higher peak intensity than in prior studies. We demonstrate that the response of the IPs shows no saturation effect and that themore »« less

Computed radiography: Photostimulable phosphor image plate technology

Journal Article Long, B - Radiologic Technology; (USA)

Computed radiography is emerging as a digital imaging modality for use in conventional radiography. It is based on photostimulable phosphor image plate technology. The image plate (IP) is housed in a cassette similar to a standard radiographic cassette. The IP phosphor retains a latent image of the energy pattern to which it was exposed. This latent image is read as it is released from the phosphor by laser light exposure. The image is laser printed on 10 in x 14 in film.
Absolute calibration of GafChromic film for very high flux laser driven ion beams

Journal Article Bin, J.; Ji, Q.; Seidl, P.; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

We report on the calibration of GafChromic HD-v2 radiochromic film in the extremely high dose regime up to 100 kGy together with very high dose rates up to 7 × 10¹¹ Gy/s. The absolute calibration was done with nanosecond ion bunches at the Neutralized Drift Compression Experiment II particle accelerator at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and covers a broad dose dynamic range over three orders of magnitude. We then applied the resulting calibration curve to calibrate a laser driven ion experiment performed on the BELLA petawatt laser facility at LBNL. Here, we reconstructed the spatial and energy resolved distributionsmore »« less

Calibration of imaging plates to electrons between 40 and 180 MeV

Journal Article Batani, D.; Boutoux, G.; Ducret, J.; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

This paper presents the response calibration of Imaging Plates (IPs) for electrons in the 40-180 MeV range using laser-accelerated electrons at Laboratoire d’Optique Appliquée (LOA), Palaiseau, France. In the calibration process, the energy spectrum and charge of electron beams are measured by an independent system composed of a magnetic spectrometer and a Lanex scintillator screen used as a calibrated reference detector. It is possible to insert IPs of different types or stacks of IPs in this spectrometer in order to detect dispersed electrons simultaneously. The response values are inferred from the signal on the IPs, due to an appropriate chargemore »« less

Absolute calibration of a prompt gamma ray detector for intense bursts of protons

Technical Report Young, F; Oliphant, F; Staphanakis, S; ...

A detector for determining the itensity and duration of kiloampere pulsed proton beams is described. Proton intensities are inferred from measurements of prompt gamma rays of 6 to 7 MeV from the /sup 19/F(p,a..gamma..)/sup 16/O reaction. The thick-target yield for this reaction on a teflon target was measured for 0.5 to 2.8 MeV protons. Two different size detectors were calibrated absolutely using the continuous proton beam from a Van de Graaff accelerator. An absolute measurement of a kiloampere pulsed proton beam is described, and the measured current is in agreement with an independent determination of the total proton intensity bymore » nuclear activation.« less
