Simultaneous observation of ultrafast electron and proton beams in TNSA
Figures & Tables
Fig. 1. Experimental setup. The FLAME laser is sent to an aluminium target. The charged particles emitted during this interaction are revealed by two single-shot time resolved measurements: electro-optic sampling diagnostics, able to measure the electric field carried by relativistic fast electrons, and a time-of-flight diamond detector, used to measure the temporal distribution of protons arriving at it and to retrieve their energy spectra[20].
