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>Diameter versus energy of protons and Si<sup>+1</sup> ions at different etching times: 3 h (a), 6 h (b), 8 h (c), and 9 h (d), revealing that the particles are fully discriminated only in the first 3 h of etching.</div>
