Alpha-Particle Generation from H-¹¹B Fusion Initiated by Laser-Accelerated Boron Ions

Figure 3

Alpha-particle generation from H-¹¹B fusion measured by CR39. (a) Raw images of CR39 sheets, (b) calibrated track diameters versus the energy of protons and alpha-particles [47] and representative alpha-particles of our result, and (c) the angular dependence of alpha-particle flux. The inset shows the experimental layout of the pitcher-catcher scheme.
