| Abstract | A team of University of Alberta researchers, in collaboration with an international team of investigators, has spearheaded an experiment to study the generation and transport of MeV electrons produced by ultra-high intensity second harmonic Nd:Glass laser pulses. Intensities of up to 5 x I O’ 9 W cm2 have been used to irradiate a variety of targets to investigate the conversion efficiency into MeV energy electrons, as well as the energy spectrum and angular divergence of such electrons. Their transport through a cone tip simulating the generation of an energetic electron beam for the fast ignition of a laser-compressed fuel core was also measured. The experiments were carried out at the Titan high intensity 1aser facility located at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The experiment is the first step towards evaluating the potential effectiveness of using prepulse-free shorter wavelength second harmonic laser pulses as ignition sources for Fast Ignition Fusion Energy. |
