Journal ArticleDOI
Recent developments in the Thomson Parabola Spectrometer diagnostic for laser-driven multi-species ion sources
Aaron Alejo,D. Gwynne,Domenico Doria,Hamad Ahmed,David Carroll,R. J. Clarke,David Neely,Graeme Scott,Marco Borghesi,Satyabrata Kar +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a recursive differential filtering technique was implemented at the TPS detector in order to allow only one of the overlapping ion species to reach the detector, across the entire energy range detectable by the Thomson Parabola Spectrometer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modelling the effect of laser focal spot size on sheath- accelerated protons in intense laser–foil interactions
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the laser focal spot size on the acceleration of protons from ultra-thin foil targets irradiated by ultra-short laser pulses of intensity 1016?1018?W?cm?2 was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of focusing plasma mirrors for ultraintense laser-driven particle and radiation sources
Robbie Wilson,M. King,Ross Gray,David Carroll,R. J. Dance,N. M. H. Butler,Chris Armstrong,Steve Hawkes,Robert Clarke,David J. Robertson,Cyril Bourgenot,David Neely,Paul McKenna +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, the ellipsoidal focusing plasma mirrors are used to increase the peak intensity of high power laser pulses, which can open up new regimes of laser-plasma interactions, resulting in the acceleration of ions to higher energies and more efficient generation of energetic photons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bremsstrahlung emission from high power laser interactions with constrained targets for industrial radiography
Chris Armstrong,Ceri Brenner,Christopher Jones,Dean Rusby,Z. E. Davidson,Y. Zhang,J. Wragg,S. Richards,C. Spindloe,Pedro Oliveira,M. M. Notley,R. J. Clarke,S. R. Mirfayzi,S. Kar,Yun-Hui Li,Thomas Bligh Scott,Paul McKenna,David Neely +17 more
TL;DR: In this article, a laser-solid interaction is used as a potential source of high energy X-rays for nondestructive imaging, and a large sheath field envelope around the perimeter of the constrained targets increases the proportion of electron current that recirculates through the target, driving a brighter source of Xrays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Micron-scale fast electron filaments and recirculation determined from rear-side optical emission in high-intensity laser–solid interactions
C. Bellei,S. R. Nagel,Satyabrata Kar,A. Henig,Stefan Kneip,Charlotte Palmer,A. Sävert,Louise Willingale,Louise Willingale,David Carroll,Brendan Dromey,James Green,James Green,K. Markey,P. T.

TL;DR: The transport of relativistic electrons generated in the interaction of petawatt class lasers with solid targets has been studied through measurements of the second harmonic optical emission from their rear surface.
