Hot Electron Spectra in Plain, Cone and Integrated Targets for FIREX-I using Electron Spectrometer
The traditional fast ignition scheme is that a compressed core created by an imploding laser is auxiliary heated and ignited by the hot electrons (produced by a short pulse laser guided through the cone). Here, the most suitable target design for fast ignition can be searched for by comparison of the spectra between varied targets using an electron spectrometer
Development of Compton X-Ray Spectrometer for Fast Ignition Experiment
In the context of Fast Ignition, the fast electron temperature is a key parameter to determine the laser-to-fast electron energy conversion efficiency. Bremsstrahlung X-ray (γ-ray) emission represents an attractive alternative to measure this fundamental parameter. In this study, a single-shot high-energy γ-ray spectrometer with sensitivity ranging from 0.5 MeV to 7 MeV was developed, allowing to estimate the γ-ray spectrum in the fast ignition
