Thin Foil Acceleration Method for Measuring the Unloading Isentropes of Shock-Compressed Matter

Conference Asay, J R ; Chhabildas, L C ; Fortov, V E ; ...

This work has been performed as part of the search for possible ways to utilize the capabilities of laser and particle beams techniques in shock wave and equation of state physics. The peculiarity of these techniques is that we have to deal with micron-thick targets and not well reproducible incident shock wave parameters, so all measurements should be of a high resolution and be done in one shot. Besides the Hugoniots, the experimental basis for creating the equations of state includes isentropes corresponding to unloading of shock-compressed matter. Experimental isentrope data are most important in the region of vaporization. Withmore »« less

Laser Ion Acceleration from the Interaction of Ultra-Intense laser Pulse with thi foils

Thesis/Dissertation Allen, Matthew Mark

The discovery that ultra-intense laser pulses (I > 10¹⁸ W/cm²) can produce short pulse, high energy proton beams has renewed interest in the fundamental mechanisms that govern particle acceleration from laser-solid interactions. Experiments have shown that protons present as hydrocarbon contaminants on laser targets can be accelerated up to energies > 50 MeV. Different theoretical models that explain the observed results have been proposed. One model describes a front-surface acceleration mechanism based on the ponderomotive potential of the laser pulse. At high intensities (I > 10¹⁸ W/cm²), the quiver energy of an electron oscillating in the electric field of themore »« less

Al 1s-2p absorption spectroscopy of shock-wave heating and compression in laser-driven planar foil

Journal Article Sawada, H ; Regan, S P ; Radha, P B ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Time-resolved Al 1s-2p absorption spectroscopy is used to diagnose direct-drive, shock-wave heating and compression of planar targets having nearly Fermi-degenerate plasma conditions (T{sub e}{approx}10-40 eV, {rho}{approx}3-11 g/cm{sup 3}) on the OMEGA Laser System [T. R. Boehly et al., Opt. Commun. 133, 495 (1997)]. A planar plastic foil with a buried Al tracer layer was irradiated with peak intensities of 10{sup 14}-10{sup 15} W/cm{sup 2} and probed with the pseudocontinuum M-band emission from a point-source Sm backlighter in the range of 1.4-1.7 keV. The laser ablation process launches 10-70 Mbar shock waves into the CH/Al/CH target. The Al 1s-2p absorption spectramore »« less

Efficient laser-ion acceleration from closely stacked ultrathin foils

Journal Article Kluge, T ; Kraft, S D ; Schramm, U ; ... - Physical Review. E, Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics (Print)

A new scheme to efficiently accelerate protons by a single linear polarized high-intensity ultrashort laser pulse using multiple ultrathin foils is proposed. The foils are stacked at a spacing comparable to their thickness and subsequently irradiated by the same laser pulse. The foil thicknesses are chosen such that the laser light pressure can displace all electrons out of the foil. The authors present a simple, yet precise dynamical model of the acceleration process from which both optimum foil thickness and spacing can be derived. Extensive two-dimensional (2D) particle-in-cell simulations verify the model predictions and suggest an enhancement of the maximummore »« less
