Laser-Driven Proton-Boron Fusions: Influences of the Boron State

Figure 3

The energy spectra of particles escaping from the left simulation boundary in the range of 0 MeV to 6.5 MeV: (1) the blue line (N-noEB), the boron solid without electromagnetic fields; (2) the red line (5N-noEB), the boron plasma without electromagnetic fields; (3) the blue triangle line (N-EB), the boron solid with electromagnetic fields; (4) the red square line (5N-EB), the boron plasma with electromagnetic fields. The yellow patch corresponds to where it cannot be measured in the experiments.
