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>(a) Stitched images showing the full proton parabola from the TP as registered on the CR-39. The colored squares represent different regions analyzed. (b) The analysis of each group (of 10 pictures) resulted a Gaussian-like distribution of the diameters of the detected tracks. The colors of the Gaussians correspond to the same colored rectangular form (a). (c) Dependence of the diameter of protons at a function of the proton energy for different etching times.</div>
