Abstract

Abstract The Thomson parabola spectrometer (TPS) [1] is a well-known, universal diagnostic tool that is widely used in laser plasma experiments to measure the parameters of accelerated ions. In contrast to other popular ion diagnostics, such as semiconductor detectors or ion collectors, the TPS is not greatly affected by electromagnetic pulses generated during high-power laser interaction with matter and can be tuned to acquire data in various energy ranges of accelerated ions, depending on the goal of the experiment. Despite the many advantages of this diagnostic device, processing the collected data is a difficult task and requires a lot of caution during interpretation of gathered results. In this work, we introduce the basic principles of operation and data analysis based on the numerical tool created specifically for the TPS designed at the Institute of Plasma Physics and Laser Microfusion, present a range of data obtained during various recent experiments in which our TPS was used, and highlight the difficulties in data analysis depending on the purpose of the experiment and the experimental setup.

汤姆逊抛物线光谱仪在各种激光等离子体和激光聚变相关实验中的能力

摘要汤姆逊抛物线光谱仪（TPS）[1]是一种众所周知的通用诊断工具，广泛用于激光等离子体实验，以测量加速离子的参数。与其他流行的离子诊断（如半导体探测器或离子收集器）相比，TPS不会受到高功率激光与物质相互作用期间产生的电磁脉冲的很大影响，并且可以根据实验目标进行调整，以获取加速离子的各种能量范围内的数据。尽管这种诊断设备有很多优点，但处理收集的数据是一项艰巨的任务，在解释收集的结果时需要非常小心。在这项工作中，我们介绍了基于专门为等离子体物理和激光微聚变研究所设计的TPS创建的数值工具的操作和数据分析的基本原理，介绍了在最近使用我们的TPS的各种实验中获得的一系列数据，并强调了根据实验目的和实验设置进行数据分析的困难。
