Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The experimental research of super strong ultra-short laser and plasma interaction requires the measurement of ion energy spectrum and proton beam spot generated by laser target. The current proton imaging system usually adds a mirror, a lens and the like behind a scintillator, and finally images to a CCD for recording, which has a complex structure and occupies a large space.

[0003] For the diagnosis of ion energy spectrum, the existing methods include an ion spectrometer based on MCP, an ion spectrometer based on a scintillator, and an ion spectrometer based on a CMOS chip. The ion spectrometer based on MCP has a higher requirement for vacuum degree due to the use of MCP, and a vacuum chamber system (equipped with a special vacuum unit) independent of the vacuum target chamber of the experiment is needed. The ion spectrometer system based on a scintillator uses an optical lens to collect light, and an EMCCD is needed to improve the signal gain and the signal-to-noise ratio due to the low light collection efficiency of the lens, which is only a few per thousand to a few per ten thousand.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 The present application provides an online proton imaging ion spectrometer diagnostic system, which comprises an online proton imaging module 1, an online Thomson ion spectrometer module 2 and a shielding aiming module 3.

[0029] The laser emitted by the aiming laser pen 3-2 of the shielding aiming module 3 successively passes through the online Thomson ion spectrometer module 2 and the online proton imaging module 1, forming an optical axis incident to the target surface of the laser ion acceleration experiment target (installed in front of the online proton imaging module 1 during the experiment), so that the online proton imaging module 1, the online Thomson ion spectrometer module 2 and the aiming laser pen 3-2 are coaxial, i.e. coaxial on the linear diagnostic path. The online proton imaging module 1 is used for online measurement of the angular distribution of laser accelerated protons, and the online Thomson ion spectrometer module 2 is used for measurement of the energy spectrum of laser accelerated ions.

[0030] The process of the experiment using the present system is as follows:

[0031] First, adjust the adjusting support 3-3 (a non-core structure, how to adjust is not shown in the figure, many adjusting devices in the prior art can meet the requirements, and in the present application, it is required to be able to combine up and down to pitch, and combine left and right to rotate to adjust the aiming laser pen 3-2) to an angle, so that the laser emitted by the aiming laser pen 3-2 can exit through the through hole of the shielding cavity 3-1 and the collimation hole 2-1 of the online Thomson ion spectrometer module 2 to the online proton imaging module 1;

[0032] Then the adjusting support plate 1-5 (non-core structure, how to adjust is not shown in the figure, many adjusting devices in the prior art can meet the requirements, and it is required to have two-dimensional adjusting function, that is, horizontal position adjusting and vertical position adjusting) of the online proton imaging module 1 is adjusted, so that the laser can be emitted from the center through hole of the first scintillator 1-2 of the online proton imaging module 1.

[0033] Finally, the whole system is placed on a four-dimensional adjusting platform, and the aiming laser is incident on the target surface of the laser ion acceleration experiment target through adjustment, that is, the aiming of the system is realized.

[0034] Figure 2 The structure diagram of the online proton imaging module 1 provided by the application is shown, and the online proton imaging module 1 includes a metal filter 1-1, a first scintillator 1-2, two proton imaging acquisition assemblies and an adjusting support plate 1-5; the metal filter 1-1 and the first scintillator 1-2 are arranged in front of and behind each other and face the straight-line diagnostic path, and the center positions are provided with through holes coinciding with the straight-line diagnostic path;

[0035] The proton imaging acquisition assembly includes a first optical fiber panel 1-3 and a first CMOS sensor 1-4, the first optical fiber panel 1-3 is inclined to the first scintillator 1-2, the first optical fiber panel 1-3 is a right-angled trapezoidal plate, the inclined waist surface of the first optical fiber panel 1-3 is attached to the rear surface of the first scintillator 1-2, and the first CMOS sensor 1-4 is attached to the right-angled waist surface of the first optical fiber panel 1-3; the first optical fiber panels 1-3 of the two proton imaging acquisition assemblies form a V-shaped structure with the V groove facing backward, and the V grooves are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the straight-line diagnostic path.

[0036] The metal filter 1-1 is composed of four filters with different thicknesses and is formed into a field shape, so that the first scintillator 1-2 at the corresponding position measures protons of different energies, thereby giving the spatial distribution of protons at four energy points, and each filter has a size of 25mm*25mm. In addition, the metal filter 1-1 can also be distributed in a ring around the through hole in the center.

[0037] The first scintillator 1-2 adopts an organic scintillator, model EJ228, thickness 50μm, size 50mm*50mm, and is used to convert the proton signal into a visible light signal.

[0038] The first optical fiber panel 1-3 is inclined to the front and back straight line direction, and is used for transmitting visible light signals to the first CMOS sensor 1-4, and the inclined surface is used to protect the first CMOS sensor 1-4 from direct irradiation, and one first optical fiber panel 1-3 is arranged on each side, so as to leave the middle area, and the ion beam can pass through the middle area to the online Thomson ion spectrometer module 2 for ion energy spectrum diagnosis through the hole (or slit) in the center of the first scintillator 1-2.

[0039] The first CMOS sensor 1-4 is used for recording visible light signals, and the size is 18mm*50mm, and the pixel size is 20um.

[0040] The adjusting support plate 1-5 is used for adjusting the position of the whole structure composed of the metal filter 1-1, the first scintillator 1-2, the first optical fiber panel 1-3 and the first CMOS sensor 1-4.

[0041] The metal filter 1-1 and the first scintillator 1-2 are tightly attached, and a through hole with a diameter of 2mm is arranged in the center, so as to facilitate the ion to enter the online Thomson ion spectrometer for ion energy spectrum diagnosis.

[0042] The two first optical fiber panels 1-3 are inclined to the straight line diagnosis path at an angle of 45 degrees, and the contact surface area of the first scintillator 1-2 is 25mm*50mm. The proton beam incident to the first scintillator 1-2 generates visible light, which is transmitted to the first CMOS sensor 1-4 behind the two first optical fiber panels 1-3, and then the light signal is converted into an electric signal through photoelectric effect, the electric signal is converted into a digital signal through analog-digital conversion, and the digital signal is transmitted to the computer through a data line to realize the recording of proton imaging.

[0043] The adjusting support plate 1-5 in the online proton imaging module 1 has two-dimensional adjusting functions of horizontal movement and vertical movement, and the adjusting range is ±2mm.

[0044] Figure 3 The online Thomson ion spectrometer module 2 provided by the application is shown in the schematic diagram, which comprises a collimating hole 2-1, a dipole magnet 2-2, an electrode plate 2-3, a miniature power supply high-voltage power supply, a light-proof aluminum film 2-6, a second scintillator 2-7 encapsulated with a film, a second optical fiber panel 2-8 and a second CMOS sensor 2-9 behind the second optical fiber panel 2-8, and the second CMOS sensor 2-9 is a strip-shaped structure.

[0045] The diode magnet 2-2 is used to generate a magnetic field, and the strength and direction of the magnetic field can be controlled by adjusting the current. The electrode plate 2-3 is used to control the direction and deflection of the ion beam, and is located downstream of the diode magnet 2-2 to further adjust the beam after magnetic field deflection. The high-voltage connecting cable 2-5 is used to connect the electrode plate 2-3 with the micro high-voltage power supply 2-4, which transmits a high-voltage electric signal to establish the required electric field on the electrode plate 2-3. The micro high-voltage power supply 2-4 is used to provide the required high voltage for the electrode plate 2-3 to form an electric field.

[0046] The inner diameter of the collimating hole 2-12-1 is 0.2mm;

[0047] In the online Thomson ion spectrometer module 2, the electrode plate 2-3 includes two parallel wedge-shaped metal copper plates formed by cutting off the right angle part of a rectangular copper plate, and the copper plate has a thickness of 4mm and a length of 120mm, and the distance between the two wedge-shaped metal copper plates is 10mm.

[0048] Compared with the existing scintillator coupling lens method, the present application adopts the structure of fiber panel coupling CMOS, which has sufficient light collection efficiency and does not require as high a vacuum degree as MCP. After deflection by the diode magnet 2-2, only ions, not electrons and X-rays, are incident on the second CMOS sensor 2-9. The fiber panel with a certain thickness (the thickness is determined according to the actual generated ions) can prevent ions from directly entering the CMOS chip, thereby providing a certain radiation protection for the CMOS chip.

[0049] Figure 4 The shielding aiming module 3 provided by the present application includes a shielding cavity 3-1, an aiming laser pen 3-2, and an adjusting support 3-3 for adjusting the posture of the aiming laser pen 3-2. The shielding cavity 3-1 is a metal body. The center of one side of the shielding cavity 3-1 where the aiming laser pen 3-2 is installed is provided with a laser through hole, and the other side opposite to the aiming laser pen 3-2 is provided with a square hole, so that the metal filter 1-1 of the online proton imaging module 1 can be exposed.

[0050] The material of the shielding cavity 3-1 in the shielding aiming module 3 is selected from materials such as lead and tungsten which have high shielding effect on X-rays.

[0051] The online proton imaging ion spectrometer diagnostic system provided by the present application determines whether the online proton imaging module 1, the online Thomson ion spectrometer module 2, and the light beam of the aiming laser pen 3-2 are coaxially arranged through the aiming laser pen 3-2 of the shielding aiming assembly. If they are not coaxial, they are adjusted through the adjusting structure until they are coaxial.

[0052] The online proton imaging ion spectrometer diagnosis system provided by the application can realize simultaneous coaxial online measurement of proton imaging and ion energy spectrum, and provides more convenient and rapid diagnosis data for laser plasma ion acceleration diagnosis.

[0053] The working principle of the online proton imaging ion spectrometer diagnosis system is as follows:

[0054] The laser emitted by the aiming laser pen 3-2 is incident on the target surface (the target surface is located in front of the online proton imaging module 1 in the experiment, not shown in the figure) after passing through the online proton imaging module 1 from back to front.

[0055] Then, the aiming laser pen 3-2 is turned off. The formal experiment is started, the ultrastrong laser is focused to be incident on the target surface to accelerate to generate protons, heavy ions, electrons, X-rays, etc., which are first incident on the metal filter 1-1 of the online proton imaging module 1. The metal filter 1-1 can shield the interference of the target leakage laser and low-energy heavy ions on the proton imaging recording. The first scintillator 1-2 is thin enough (the thickness is in the order of 10 microns), mainly for proton energy deposition, that is, the spatial distribution information of the protons is converted into visible light, and then the visible light is transmitted to the first CMOS sensor through the first optical fiber panel 1-3 to realize light recording. The spatial distribution and intensity information of the recorded signal are used to reflect the spatial distribution information of the protons, that is, the online recording of proton imaging is realized. The electron and X-ray have strong penetration and will pass out from the back of the first scintillator 1-2 and be blocked by the front wall of the dipole magnet 2-2 of the online Thomson ion spectrometer module 2. The electron, X-ray, proton and heavy ion passing out from the center hole of the first scintillator 1-2 enter the dipole magnet 2-2 through the collimating hole 2-1 arranged in the middle of the front wall of the dipole magnet 2-2. The X-ray is transmitted along a straight line. The electron and ion (including proton and heavy ion) have different charged properties, the electron is deflected downward, and the ion is deflected upward, so as to realize separation. Then the ion enters the electrode plate 2-3 and is deflected left and right (depending on the voltage direction), and the deflection degree of different nuclear mass ratios is different. Thus, the separation of different types of ions is realized. Finally, different parabolic curves are recorded on the ion collection module of the online Thomson ion spectrometer module 2, and different energy and type of ions are incident on different positions on the surface of the second scintillator 2-7. The position of each ion incident on the surface of the second scintillator 2-7 is a parabola, and different positions of the parabola correspond to different ion energies, and different ions are different parabolas.

[0056] The ions incident on the second scintillator 2-7 will deposit energy and produce scintillation light. The scintillation light is transmitted through the second optical fiber panel 2-8 to the second CMOS sensor 2-9, and an electric signal is generated through the photoelectric effect. The electric signal is converted into a digital signal through analog-digital conversion, and the digital signal is transmitted to a computer through a data line for recording. The computer has an acquisition software with a two-dimensional pixel array of m*n. Each pixel corresponds to a position on the scintillator surface. Thus, the parabolic curve can be recorded.

[0057] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
