摘要
本文给出了利用汤姆逊(Thomson)离子谱仪测量超短超强激光与等离子体相互作用中产生的高能质子能谱的一种方法.该方法是利用Thomson离子谱仪(平均磁场强度为0.167 T,电场加高压为3000 V,电场强度约为0.429 MV/m)和固体核径迹探测器CR39相结合,在固体靶背表面测量了激光的高能质子能谱.结果显示:质子沿着靶背法线方向发射,质子在一定能量处出现截止,截止能量与靶厚度和靶材料密切相关.分析认为,靶法线鞘层加速(TNSA)机制是质子能谱分布及能量截止的主要原因.
This paper presents a method of using Thomson ion spectrometer to measure ultra-short ultra-intense laser interaction with plasma produced in high-energy proton energy spectrum. This method is to use the Thomson ion spectrometer(average 0.167 T magnetic field intensity, electric field and high voltage is 3000 V, the electric field intensity of 0.429 MV/m) and solid state nuclear track detector CR39, combining target back in solid surface was measured by laser high-energy proton spectroscopy. Results showed that the proton emission in the direction of the target back to normal, appear as protons in a Cut-off energy, as energy is closely related to the target thickness and target materials. Sheath after analysis, target normal sheath acceleration(TNSA)mechanisms is a major cause of proton energy spectrum distribution and energy as.
