Discriminative detection of laser-accelerated multi-MeV carbon ions utilizing solid state nuclear track detectors

Abstract A new diagnosis method for the discriminative detection of laser-accelerated multi-MeV carbon ions from background oxygen ions utilizing solid-state nuclear track detectors (SSNTDs) is proposed. The idea is to combine two kinds of SSNTDs having different track registration sensitivities: Bi...
