研究目的
Investigating the measurement of energy spectra of neutrons and gamma rays emitted by nuclei in high power laser driven experiments to understand nuclear phenomena.
研究成果
The study demonstrates the feasibility of performing neutron and gamma spectroscopy in high power laser driven experiments, despite the challenges posed by the experimental conditions. The preliminary results from experiments at Titan and ELFIE facilities show the capabilities and limitations of the employed methods. Possible improvements and their implementation at ELI-NP are discussed, highlighting the potential for unique opportunities in laser driven nuclear studies.
研究不足
The large number of particles emitted in a very short time and the strong X-rays flash produced in laser-target interaction impose challenges for the adaptation of techniques currently used in nuclear physics experiments. The need for extensive lead shielding and the complexity of data analysis due to overlapping signals from multiple neutrons are also limitations.
