Radiological Safety Assessment for the Experimental Area of a Hyper-Intense Laser With Peak—power of 1pw—cetal

Abstract: Ultra-high intensity lasers in use are connected with ionizing radiation sources that raise a real concern in relation to installations, personnel, population and environment protection. The shielding of target areas in these facilities has to be evaluated from the conceptual stage of the building design. The sizing of the protective concrete walls was determined using computer codes such as Fluka. For the experiments to be carried out in the facility of the Center for Advanced Laser Technologies (CETAL), both… Show more

“…The experiments were performed using the PW class laser system from the CETAL-PW laboratory [15][16][17][18]. The 40 fs laser pulse with a diameter of about 200 mm is focused on the target at 45 • incidence angle with respect to the target normal, using an off-axis parabolic mirror with a focal length of 400 mm.…”

“…For a more complete radiological characterization of the LION experiment, computational studies of the residual induced activation, not covered in this manuscript, will also be performed. However, computational results by Florescu et al 38 show that the residual dose rate due to activation at a few cm from the surface of an aluminum-made vacuum chamber is comparable with the average natural outdoor radiation background already after three minutes of cooling time, when using 100 MeV mono-energetic protons and 10 14 protons per bunch. This result suggests that the contribution of activation to the total dose should be minimal, considering the primary source terms employed in this study.…”
