超短超强激光与固体靶相互作用中超热电子的角分布

用3TW超短超强激光器进行了激光与固体靶相互作用实验。采用电子角分布仪和LiF热释光探测器探测了超热电子的角分布。测量结果显示：能量较高的电子发射的定向性好于能量较低的电子;能量较低的电子呈溅射状发射;能量较高的电子发射出现两个尖锐的发射峰,其中,激光反射方向的超热电子发射峰则由反射激光、有质动力径向分量、侧向拉曼散射等加速机制共同作用的结果,靠近靶法线方向的超热电子发射峰是由其振吸收机制产生,且理论预言与实验结果相吻合。

强激光打固体靶所致硬X射线屏蔽模拟研究

强激光与固体靶相互作用产生的硬X射线已被证实为一种新的电离辐射源,其辐射防护问题引起国内外相关领域的广泛关注。为了便于开展这类电离辐射源的屏蔽设计,研究了强激光打靶所致硬X射线在常用屏蔽材料中的剂量衰减曲线和十值层（TVL）。利用蒙特卡罗程序FLUKA建立了强激光打靶所致硬X射线的屏蔽计算模型,开发了专门的统计程序,解决了屏蔽层之间由于粒子反散射造成的重复统计问题,使得可以通过一次模拟得到不同屏蔽厚度下的光子剂量。计算结果表明:当电子温度为0.5~10 MeV时,X射线在混凝土中的十值层从24 cm到56 cm不等。其中X射线的十值层会随着电子温度的增加而增加,并逐渐趋于饱和。而对于铅屏蔽,除了第一个十值层（TVL1）外,平衡十值层随电子温度的变化较小,在4.7~5.4 cm范围内。另外,当电子温度较高时,探测器到屏蔽体的距离不同会使得TVL1值存在明显的差异。

Investigation of the interaction of subpicosecond KrF laser pulses with a preformed carbon plasma

The interaction of a subpicosecond KrF laser pulse with a preformed carbon plasma of various scale lengths is investigated. Two different interaction geometries are chosen. In the first one the propagation vector of the short pulse has a component along the density gradient of the preformed plasma (angle of incidence is 45°). In the second geometry the propagation direction of the short pulse is perpendicular to the density gradient of the preplasma (angle of incidence is 90°). The emitted soft X-ray spectrum in the wavelength interval from 10 to 700 is observed while changing several parameters of the experiment. It is found that the emission in the short wavelength part under 200 results from the radiation of ions created by collisional heating near the critical density region. The long wavelength part above 200 , enhanced up to a maximal factor of 20, is mainly produced by radiating particles field—ionized up to the He-like carbon state in the high-intensity laser field. The short wavelength part is missing in the case of 90° angle of incidence because there is no interaction with the critical layer that results in an insufficient collisional heating.

Generation of harmonics during the interaction of ultrashort superstrong laser pulses with solid targets

Generation of even and odd harmonics in the skin layer formed during the interaction of a short relativistic laser pulse with solid targets is considered. The complex motion of free electrons in the skin layer along the electric field vector and along the direction of propagation of a laser wave is analyzed. The Fourier expansion of the trajectory of this motion is used to obtain the components of the conductivity tensor and of the amplitude of the transverse electromagnetic field of harmonics propagating along the electric field. Even harmonics appear due to relativistic effects. The efficiency of generation of even and odd harmonics at the leading front of a laser pulse is calculated.     

Generation of hard x rays by femtosecond laser pulse interaction with solid targets in atmosphere

X ray radiation as high as 50 keV, including K(α) of Ba and Mo, have been observed from a solid target during the interaction of low energy ~0.65 mJ, 1 kHz 40 femtosecond laser pulses focused in air at atmospheric pressure. Energetic electrons generating such x rays are possibly produced when the field strength in laser pulse wake exceeds the runaway threshold in air. Two dimensional particle-in-cell simulations that include optical field ionization of air and elastic collisions support this mechanism.     

Fast electron transport in ultraintense laser pulse interaction with solid targets by rear-side self-radiation diagnostics

We report on rear-side optical self-emission results from ultraintense laser pulse interactions with solid targets. A prompt emission associated with a narrow electron jet has been observed up to aluminum target thicknesses of 400 microm with a typical spreading half-angle of 17 degrees. The quantitative results on the emitted energy are consistent with models where the optical emission is due to transition radiation of electrons reaching the back surface of the target or due to a synchrotron-type radiation of electrons pulled back to the target. These models associated with transport simulation results give an indication of a temperature of a few hundred keV for the fast-electron population.

Photonuclear physics when a multiterawatt laser pulse interacts with solid targets

When a laser pulse of intensity 10(19) W cm(-2) interacts with solid targets, electrons of energies of some tens of MeV are produced. In a tantalum target, the electrons generate an intense highly directional gamma-ray beam that can be used to carry out photonuclear reactions. The isotopes 11C, 38K, (62,64)Cu, 63Zn, 106Ag, 140Pr, and 180Ta have been produced by (gamma,n) reactions using the VULCAN laser beam. In addition, laser-induced nuclear fission in 238U has been demonstrated, a process which was theoretically predicted at such laser intensities more than ten years ago. The ratio of the 11C and the 62Cu beta(+) activities yields shot-by-shot temperatures of the suprathermal electrons at laser intensities of approximately 10(19) W cm(-2).     

Fundamental studies of intense heavy-ion beam interaction with solid targets

Intense (10/sup 11/ particles/1 /spl mu/s /spl sim/300 MeV/u) heavy ion beams are generated in the heavy-ion synchrotron (SIS) of the GSI-Darmstadt facility. Large volumes of strongly coupled plasmas are produced by heavy ion beam interaction with solid targets, with plasma densities close to the solid state, pressures of about 100 kbar, and temperatures of up to 1 eV, with relevance for equation of state (EOS) of matter, astrophysics, and low-entropy shock compression of solids. The plasmas created by ion beam interaction with metallic converters and cryogenic crystals were studied by backlighting shadowgraphy and by time-resolved spectroscopy in the visible and vacuum ultraviolet ranges. Low entropy weak shock waves induced by the ion beams in the metal-plexiglass multilayered targets were visualized by time resolved schlieren measurements, revealing induced multiple shockwaves with pressures higher than 15 kbar in a plexiglass window and propagation velocities up to 35% higher than the speed of sound in plexiglass at room temperature. To get an insight into the plasma dynamics, both types of experiments are simulated by the BIG-2 two-dimensional hydrodynamic code.
