High-Sensitivity Thomson Spectrometry in Experiments of Laser-Driven Low-Rate NeutronLess Fusion Reactions

(a) Obtained spectrum for the A/Z = 2 trace of shot #56027 in the case where the entire contribution to the retrieved signal is due to alpha particles. The number of particles at energies below ∼0.8 MeV is evaluated using a linear response of the IP. (b) Calibration curve used for calculating the alpha particle beam charge. The orange part of the plot is from ref. [41]. For the black part of the curve, with energies below 0.8 MeV, a linear response of the IP is assumed. (c) Obtained spectrum for the A/Z = 2 trace of shot #56027, in the case where the entire contribution to the retrieved signal is due to C⁶⁺ ions. (d) Calibration curve used for the number of C⁶⁺ ions obtained using the fitted calibration data in ref. [42].
