激光脉冲对内层等离子体辐射源的影响

本文的基本思想是设计双层金铝薄膜靶以检测激光脉冲宽度与等离子体消融深度的关系,找出有效的等离子体加热方法以产生更强更亮的等离子体辐射源.由于有预脉冲激光的存在,表层金薄膜首先被消融,由主脉冲携带的大能量就能较易穿过表层金等离子体将能量聚焦在内层铝靶上,由此产生内层高温等离子体.又由于外层低温等离子体存在,其将有效的阻碍内高温等离子体因膨胀而引起的能量损失.对无预脉冲而言,直接入射激光能量都沉积在靶表层形成表层高温等离子体.但是激光直接入射而产生的等离子体辐射总强度只比由预脉冲情况下产生的金等离子体辐射强度增加15%.而预脉冲能量只占激光总能量的2%.实验结果显示Al光谱线主要来自类氢,类氦离子跃迁.Au等离子体光谱线主要来自它的N带,O带和P带谱.我们也观察到一个明显的软X射线短波发射极限.所有结果显示由于预脉冲的存在将对靶各层等离子体辐射产生极大的影响

Influence of different mass absorption coefficient datasets on PIXE yields

Tabulated mass absorption coefficient data from the XCOM, Chantler and ion beam analysis (IBA) Handbook are compared, and differences are shown against X‐ray energy and target atomic number. Over the X‐ray energy range 1–40 keV systematic differences of several tens of percent are noted between these datasets, particularly for the earlier IBA Handbook dataset. The influence of these different mass absorption coefficients on the X‐ray yields for thick target proton‐induced X‐ray emission (PIXE) are investigated and compared as a function of X‐ray energy and target atomic number. For contemporary experimental PIXE users trying to work quantitatively over a broad range of elements and X‐ray energies, differences between PIXE results obtained using these three separate mass attenuation coefficient datasets can be larger than the typical accuracy limits of ±3% to ±5%. There are systematic differences in the mass attenuation coefficients of 5–10% between the XCOM and Chantler, while the differences for the IBA Handbook dataset can be larger (up to 40% and greater) at high X‐ray energies. At this time, we recommend the dataset of Chantler as it is more recent, and the synchrotron experimental results seem to favour it over the older XCOM and IBA Handbook data.

Waveform preservation of the backscattered stimulated Brillouin scattering wave by using a prepulse injection

We have found that it is possible to preserve the temporal waveform of the reflected wave generated from stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) by using a prepulse technique. The waveform of the SBS wave usually shows a steep rising edge in the ordinary SBS process. It has been found that the waveform of the reflected wave depends on both the prepulse energy and the time delay between the main pulse and the prepulses. A prepulse energy of 5 mJ and a time delay of 5 ns have been measured to be the optimum values under the experimental conditions. This prepulse method is useful in developing a multistage system employing several SBS cells in series for high-power laser applications.

X‐ray tube spectral measurement method for quantitative analysis of X‐ray fluorescence analysis

Lα and Lβ X‐ray fluorescence spectra of a lead metallic sheet were measured using an energy dispersive X‐ray spectrometer by changing the X‐ray tube voltage and the material of the primary filter. The Lα to Lβ intensity ratio changed from Lα: Lβ = 3: 1 at 15 kV to Lα: Lβ = 1: 1 at 50 kV depending on the X‐ray tube voltage and the filter. The scattered X‐ray spectra of an acrylic slab instead of the sample in the sample holder were measured by changing the applied voltage and the material of the primary filter. The calculated values of the Pb Lα/Lβ intensity ratio of the metallic sheet using the Shiraiwa–Fujino formula by inserting the scattered X‐ray spectra of an acrylic plate as incident X‐ray spectra and the fundamental parameters taken from the Elam database were in good agreement with the experimental ones. We conclude that we can obtain an incident X‐ray spectrum approximately by measuring the scattered X‐ray spectrum without measuring the direct incident beam.

X‐Tream quality assurance in synchrotron X‐ray microbeam radiation therapy

Microbeam radiation therapy (MRT) is a novel irradiation technique for brain tumours treatment currently under development at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility in Grenoble, France. The technique is based on the spatial fractionation of a highly brilliant synchrotron X‐ray beam into an array of microbeams using a multi‐slit collimator (MSC). After promising pre‐clinical results, veterinary trials have recently commenced requiring the need for dedicated quality assurance (QA) procedures. The quality of MRT treatment demands reproducible and precise spatial fractionation of the incoming synchrotron beam. The intensity profile of the microbeams must also be quickly and quantitatively characterized prior to each treatment for comparison with that used for input to the dose‐planning calculations. The Centre for Medical Radiation Physics (University of Wollongong, Australia) has developed an X‐ray treatment monitoring system (X‐Tream) which incorporates a high‐spatial‐resolution silicon strip detector (SSD) specifically designed for MRT. In‐air measurements of the horizontal profile of the intrinsic microbeam X‐ray field in order to determine the relative intensity of each microbeam are presented, and the alignment of the MSC is also assessed. The results show that the SSD is able to resolve individual microbeams which therefore provides invaluable QA of the horizontal field size and microbeam number and shape. They also demonstrate that the SSD used in the X‐Tream system is very sensitive to any small misalignment of the MSC. In order to allow as rapid QA as possible, a fast alignment procedure of the SSD based on X‐ray imaging with a low‐intensity low‐energy beam has been developed and is presented in this publication.
