Figure 9
From: Differentiating multi-MeV, multi-ion spectra with CR-39 solid-state nuclear track detectors
The figure illustrates the experimental setup at the ALEPH laser system, featuring the incoming laser beam, the off-axis parabolic mirror (OAP) to focus the laser pulse onto the target placed at the center of the target chamber, and the ion diagnostics that consisted of Thomson Parabola ion spectrometers (TP) and two sets of filtered CR-39 detectors. The left inset shows the configuration of CR-39 arrays in custom, 3d-printed frames (dark grey structure) equipped with filters of different thickness. The right inset shows a microscope image of a boron target surface featuring modulations from nanometers to about 10 µm.
