A quasi-monoenergetic short time duration compact proton source for probing high energy density states of matter
Abstract We report on the development of a highly directional, narrow energy band, short time duration proton beam operating at high repetition rate. The protons are generated with an ultrashort-pulse laser interacting with a solid target and converted to a pencil-like narrow-band beam using a compa...
