Optical diagnostic system for PHELIX at Z6 experimental area
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Z6 output sensor is the final PHELIX diagnostic prior to the target area Z6. During the first months of 2007 ray tracing calculations for the diagnostic system were done and the design was improved in efficiency. The pulse energy of a full system shot is up to 1 kJ with a maximum beam diameter of 280 mm. A test shot compared to a full system shot has a dynamic range of 10 in power. The diagnostic consists of broadband attenuation and downscaling optics [1].

The diagnostic for the PHELIX* laser at the plasma physics experimental area
In the near future the PHELIX laser system at the experimental area Z6 at the GSI will be employed for plasma physics experiments. The energy loss experiments as well as the generation of intense particle beams by the 100 TW laser are important applications for the PHELIX laser. It is necessary to diagnose the PHELIX laser after propagating through the transfer line between the PHELIX facility ...

The Nd:glass PHELIX-laser operating at Z6 experimental area provids an opportunity for heavy ion – laser crossing experiments. The laser is capable to deliver up to 300J energy focused at the target in 100-150 μm spot in the nanosecond pulse regime. The experimental task was the characterization of the plasma parameters obtained at maximum possible laser intensity of 10 W/cm. For these purposes...

The stopping power of heavy ions in matter is a field of research that has been addressed for about a century. The understanding of the interaction of charged particles with cold matter has continuously evolved, however for ionized matter it is not yet fully understood. The development of a CVD polycrystalline diamond detector [1] has lead to improved experimental data, however for the first 10...

The stopping power of heavy ions in matter is a field of research that has been addressed for about a century. The understanding of the interaction of charged particles with cold matter has continuously evolved, however for ionized matter it is not yet fully understood. In the past the nhelix laser system alone was used to heat thin carbon foils to the plasma state which were then probed by the...

The interaction of heavy ions with plasma is investigated by the laser-plasma physics group of the TU Darmstadt at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung. The unique combination of two high energy laser systems and the UNILAC at the experimental area Z6 allows the investigation of the charge transfer and energy loss [1]. In these experiments the density of free electrons is an import...
