Generation of alpha-particle beams with a multi-kJ, peta-watt class laser system
Original language description
We present preliminary results on generation of energetic alpha-particles driven by lasers. The experiment was performed at the Institute of Laser Engineering in Osaka using the short-pulse, high-intensity, high-energy, PW-class laser. The laser pulse was focused onto a thin plastic foil (pitcher) to generate a proton beam by the well-known TNSA mechanism which, in turn, was impinging onto a boron-nitride (BN) target (catcher) to generated alpha-particles as a result of proton-boron nuclear fusion events. Our results demonstrate generation of alpha-particles with energies in the range 8-10 MeV and with a flux around 5 x 10(9)sr(-1).
