Measurements of radiation doses induced by high intensity laser between 10^16 and 10^21 w/cm^2 onto solid targets at LCLS MEC instrument
Liang, Taiee.
The Radiation Protection (RP) group at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory performed systematic and comprehensive measurements with various active and passive detectors for high intensity lasers (between 10^16-10^21 W/cm2) focused onto thin solid metal targets at LCLS Matter in Extreme Conditions (MEC) instrument. Laser scientists at MEC characterized the laser and optics parameters for each measurement. Outside the target chamber, photon doses were detected starting at 3x10^16 W/cm^2 and neutr...

The Radiation Protection (RP) group at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory performed systematic and comprehensive measurements with various active and passive detectors for high intensity lasers (between 10^16-10^21 W/cm2) focused onto thin solid metal targets at LCLS Matter in Extreme Conditions (MEC) instrument. Laser scientists at MEC characterized the laser and optics parameters for each measurement. Outside the target chamber, photon doses were detected starting at 3x10^16 W/cm^2 and neutron doses starting at 6x10^17 W/cm^2. SLAC RP developed a photon dose yield model to perform hazard analysis, establish controls, and calculate shielding for laser-matter experiments at MEC and a future petawatt (PW) laser facility at SLAC.
