Laser-Driven Table-Top Accelerator Facility to Generate kHz-rate Mixed Radiation

ORAL

Abstract

High-repetition-rate energetic electrons, protons, x-rays and neutrons are generated at AFIT's Extreme Light Laboratory (ELL). The extremely high intensity laser pulses bombarded on the unique homegrown liquid target enables such mixed radiation detection.
