“…34͒ and d L was relatively large ͑10-50 m͒, the conditions for ion acceleration were not very different from those required for SLPA, especially for larger d L . The proton beam characteristics were measured using the time-of-flight method ͑ion charge collectors 38 40 with Al filters͒ and RCF stacks measured with a sufficient resolution only high-energy protons ͑Ն3 MeV͒, as these detectors were strongly saturated by moderate-energy protons at the target-detector distances employed ͑L SSTD = 123 cm, L RCF = 2.5 cm͒. The effect of the laser intensity and the target structure ͑single layer, double layer͒ on the proton beam parameters was studied.…”

The results of studies of high-intensity proton beam generation from thin (1–3 μm) solid targets irradiated by 0.35 ps laser pulse of energy up to 15 J and intensity up to 2×1019 W/cm2 are reported. It is shown that the proton beams of terawatt power and intensity around 1018 W/cm2 at the source can be produced when the laser-target interaction conditions approach the skin-layer ponderomotive acceleration requirements. The proton beam parameters remarkably depend on the target structure and can be significantly increased with the use of a double-layer Au/PS target (plastic covered by 0.1–0.2 μm Au front layer).

“…The important ion characteristics have been measured, e.g., angular distributions, energy spectra and ion sources locations (Sadowski et al, 1999;Szydlowski, 2003). In order to use such detectors in an optimal way extensive calibration measurements of the selected detectors have been performed in our laboratory (Szydlowski et al, 2001(Szydlowski et al, , 2002. Recently, we made an attempt to record and analyze fast ions emitted from the other high-temperature plasma experiments.…”

“…In this paper, some rectangular samples (cut into about 1 × 3 cm 2 pieces) with a thickness of 0.5 mm of the PM-355 type detector were irradiated with light ions (H + -and D + -ions) of different energies provided by various particle accelerators, but mainly by the LECH accelerator (Van de Graaff type) [16][17][18][19][20][21]. These samples were prepared from the detector batch bought from the Page Pershore Moulding Company in 2009 [15].…”

“…These results were obtained using commercial PM-355 material and we partly published them in our previous publications [15][16][17][18][19][20]. In this paper, we report on a track analysis performed by a semiautomatic system that selected tracks according to two parameters, diameter of the etched pits and mean gray level.…”

Abstract. To use effectively any radiation detector in high-temperature plasma experiments, it must have a lot of benefi ts and fulfi ll a number of requirements. The most important are: a high energy resolution, linearity over a wide range of recorded particle energy, high detection effi ciency for these particles, a long lifetime and resistance to harsh conditions existing in plasma experiments and so on. Solid-state nuclear track detectors have been used in our laboratory in plasma experiments for many years, but recently we have made an attempt to use these detectors in spectroscopic measurements performed on some plasma facilities. This paper presents a method that we used to elaborate etched track diameters to evaluate the incident projectile energy magnitude. The method is based on the data obtained from a semiautomatic track scanning system that selects tracks according to two parameters, track diameter and its mean gray level.
