Description
The advancement of high-intensity, high-repetition-rate laser systems has made real-time detection and characterization of laser-generated plasma parameters increasingly important. These parameters include gamma radiation, electrons, high-energy protons, and heavier ions. Accurate measurement of ion beams is essential for understanding their energy distribution, charge-state composition, and beam divergence is a key factor for applications in particle acceleration, medical therapies, and nuclear science.
In this work, we present a comprehensive study of ion beam detection using advanced diagnostic techniques, including scintillator detectors, time-of-flight (TOF) spectrometry, Thomson Parabola Spectrometry (TPS), and TimePix detectors. These tools enable precise determination of ion energy spectra, charge-state distributions, and the temporal evolution of ion flux.
