3. Laser diagnostics

LUCAUMBERTO LABATE (CNR - Istituto Nazionale di Ottica)

04/11/25, 10:00

4. Seminar: Magnetic spectrometer

Dr. Georgia Adrianaki

04/11/25, 12:00

The use of a pair of magnets to deflect electrons with respect to their energy will be presented. Different setups from IPPL laboratory as well as from the bibliography will be presented. The use of different detectors for online and accumulative signal acquisition will be discussed (scintillating screens and IPs).

5. Seminar: Shock diagnostics

Dr. Donaldi Mancelli

04/11/25, 12:45

The optical and X-ray diagnostics used to study laser-driven shock waves—which generate extreme states of matter—are indispensable for characterizing material properties under high pressure and temperature. The Velocity Interferometer System for Any Reflector (VISAR) [1] is the primary optical tool, providing time-resolved, sub-nanosecond precision measurements of the shock velocity of moving...

16. Seminar: Monte Carlo Simulations at a Laser Facility: Diagnostics and Beyond

Dr. Benoit Lefebvre

06/11/25, 12:00

Monte Carlo techniques use randomness to efficiently solve a broad range of problems across applied mathematics and virtually every branch of science. They are particularly well-suited for tackling high-dimensional problems and for gaining insight into complex stochastic phenomena. In this lecture, we will explore how state-of-the-art Monte Carlo tools can be applied to simulate radiation...

17. Seminar: Optimization of direct drive irradiation

Dr. Duncan Barlow

06/11/25, 12:45

To achieve laser driven nuclear fusion, a pellet of hydrogen isotopes is
imploded in reaction to an expanding plasma, ablated by the laser. The
implosion is subject to hydrodynamic instabilities, while laser-plasma
instabilities (LPI) occur in the expanding plasma. These instabilities
are two of the greatest challenges faced when designing suitable
implosions for laser fusion experiments....
