  • Optimization of radiochromic film stacks to diagnose high-flux laser-accelerated proton beams REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS Curry, C. B., Dunning, C. S., Gauthier, M., Chou, H. J., Fiuza, F., Glenn, G. D., Tsui, Y. Y., Bazalova-Carter, M., Glenzer, S. H. 2020; 91 (9): 093303

    Abstract

    Here, we extend flatbed scanner calibrations of GafChromic EBT3, MD-V3, and HD-V2 radiochromic films using high-precision x-ray irradiation and monoenergetic proton bombardment. By computing a visibility parameter based on fractional errors, optimal dose ranges and transitions between film types are identified. The visibility analysis is used to design an ideal radiochromic film stack for the proton energy spectrum expected from the interaction of a petawatt laser with a cryogenic hydrogen jet target.
