A Methodology for the Discrimination of Alpha Particles from Other Ions in Laser-Driven Proton-Boron Reactions Using CR-39 Detectors Coupled in a Thomson Parabola Spectrometer

<div>Diameters versus energy for protons and silicon ions as they were produced from TP and alpha particles calculated from a specified experiment in AN2000 and CN accelerators in LNL-INFN in Legnaro, Italy. The graph reveals an overlapping in the diameters of alpha tracks with the silicon tracks (red area) that correspond to energies below 1.5 MeV and in a smaller scale with the proton tracks of an energy below 0.8 MeV (black area).</div>
