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, Si and C +1 ions for 9 h of etching. The inset presents a zoom in the energy region below 2 MeV. The results suggest the discrimination of protons from Si and C ions is not possible for energies below 2 MeV.</div>
