Photon Dose Yield Model for High-Intensity Short-Pulse Laser-Solid Experiments
Liang, Taiee.
A photon dose yield model has been developed by the Radiation Protection group at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory for high-intensity short-pulse laser-solid experiments between 10^17 and 10^22 W cm^-2. The model couples the particle-in-cell (PIC) plasma code EPOCH and the radiation transport code FLUKA to estimate the bremsstrahlung dose yield from laser-solid interactions. EPOCH characterizes the energy distribution, angular distribution, and laser-to-electron conversion efficiency of the ... Show Full Abstract
A photon dose yield model has been developed by the Radiation Protection group at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory for high-intensity short-pulse laser-solid experiments between 10^17 and 10^22 W cm^-2. The model couples the particle-in-cell (PIC) plasma code EPOCH and the radiation transport code FLUKA to estimate the bremsstrahlung dose yield from laser-solid interactions. EPOCH characterizes the energy distribution, angular distribution, and laser-to-electron conversion efficiency of the hot electrons that are generated via laser-solid interactions, and FLUKA utilizes this hot electron source term to calculate bremsstrahlung photon dose yield. Comparison of the calculated bremsstrahlung dose yields to radiation measurement data are also made. Show Partial Abstract
