The acceleration of protons driven by a high-intensity laser is comprehensively investigated via control of the target density by using ASE just before the time of the main-laser interaction. Two cases were investigated for which the ASE intensity differed by three orders of magnitude: In the low contrast case the beam centre for higher energy protons is shifted closer to the laser-propagation direction of 45, while the center of lower-energy beam remains near the target normal direction. Particle-in-cell simulations reveal that the characteristic proton acceleration is due to the quasistatic magnetic field on the target rear side with the magnetic pressure sustaining a charge separation electrostatic field.

Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:17.27(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)We observe UV harmonics and protons with a thin-foil target irradiated with a high-intensity Ti:sapphire laser. The laser intensity dependency of UV harmonics and proton signal is measured by varying the distance between the target surface and the best focus of the laser beam. In the case of appropriate condition for proton generation with a maximum energy of 2.7 MeV, the weak broad spectrum in the UV region is generated. The UV harmonics up to fourth-order are generated as the target is moved away from the best focus position. In this condition the maximum energy of protons is reduced to 1 MeV.

Times Cited Count:113 Percentile:97.37(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)The duration-controlled amplified spontaneous emission with intensity of W/cm is used to convert a 7.5 m thick polyimide foil into a near-critical plasma, in which the -polarized, 45 fs, W/cm laser pulse generates 3.8 MeV protons, emitted at some angle between the target normal and the laser propagation direction of 45. Particle-in-cell simulations reveal that the efficient proton acceleration is due to generation of the quasistatic magnetic field on the target rear side with the magnetic pressure inducing and sustaining a charge separation electrostatic field.

Times Cited Count:1 Percentile:55.21(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)In this work, we present a new method to enhance the proton generation by a 10-contrast laser. High-energy protons up to 3.8 MeV are observed with 7.5-m-thick insulator (Polyimide) target irradiated by a laser pulse having energy of 0.8 J and an intensity of 10-W/cm. Using two time-of-flight (TOF) spectrometers simultaneously in different directions, we measure the direction dependency of proton-energy spectra. As a result, we find that high-energy component of proton beam is shifted away from the target normal toward the laser-propagation direction, when the laser is focused with 45 incident angle. The TOF measurements over 130 laser shots confirm that the generation of the high-energy protons, which are steered away from the target normal, depends strongly on the laser-focusing condition.

An electric quadrupole moment ( moment) is sensitive to collective aspects of nuclear structure. In the -moment measurement for unstable nuclei, we employ the -detected nuclear-quadrupole resonance method. In this method, we need to supply resonance frequencies, where denotes the nuclear spin. We have developed a new RF-application system to induced all of the transitions. The application of the frequencies may be pursued in two different ways; the sequential RF pulse method and the mixed-wave RF pulse method. We confirmed the reversal of polarization for the both methods, from measurements of -ray asymmetry change for polarized B. Using this system, the moments of Al have been measured to be mb and mb by the sequential RF pulse method.

Protons having energies up to 3.8 MeV are experimentally generated by the -polarized, 45 fs, W/cm laser pulse interacting with a near-critical plasma cloud produced by the irradiation of the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) pedestal at an intensity of W/cm onto a 7.5-m-thick polyimide foil target. A two-dimensional (2D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation reveals that the protons are accelerated efficiently when the ion filament is formed inside the plasma channel and the quasistatic magnetic field is generated on the rear side.

High-intensity laser and thin-foil interactions produce high energy ions, electrons, X-ray, high-order harmonics, and THz radiation. High-energy protons driven by the high-intensity laser is paid attention as a compact ion source for medical application. The simultaneous generation of the protons and THz or harmonics will provide us high-density plasma diagnostic or unique pump-probe techniques. We use a Ti:sapphire laser system (JLITE-X) in JAEA for THz radiation. The laser beam is focused by an off-axis parabolic mirror at the 5 m thick Ti target. We observe simultaneously both the high-energy proton and THz radiation by changing the duration of ASE preceding the main pulse. We use a Ti:sapphire laser system in CRIEPI for harmonic generation. The laser beam is focused by an off-axis parabolic mirror at the 7.5 m thick polyimide target surface. The high-energy protons and UV harmonics are observed at the target is moved away from the best focus.

Muonic atom is an atom like system that has one negatively charged muon instead of an electron. It is known that the initial state of captured muon is influenced by the outer electron structure of muon capturing molecule and some muon capture models have been proposed. To investigate the molecular effect in muonic atom formation, we performed muon irradiation for low pressure NO and NO gases and measured muonic X-rays emitted from muonic atoms. We found that the muon capture models are not reproduced our results.

Muonic atom is an atom like system that has one negatively charged muon instead of an electron. It is known that the formation process of muonic atom is influenced by the structure of muon capturing molecule (molecular effect). In this study, we performed systematic muon irradiation for low pressure nitrogen oxide samples and discuss the molecular effect on muon capture phenomena.

A muonic atom is an atomic system that contains one negatively charged muon (muon is one of elementally particles) instead of an electron. When a muon is injected in material, the muon is slowing down by collisions with atomic electrons, and then low energy muon is captured on the coulomb field of a nucleus. As a result, the muon forms an atomic orbit around the nucleus, that is, a muonic atom is formed. It is considered that a muon capture phenomenon proceeds through muon collision and replacement with loosely binding electron, however the intrinsic mechanism of muon capture have not been investigated yet. In this study, we examine the formation processes of muonic atoms for nitrogen oxide samples (NO, NO and NO) by measuring muon characteristic X-rays (muonic X-rays) emitted after formation of muonic atoms.
