Gaseous Optical Time Projection Chambers (OTPCs) aimed at Neutrino Physics and Rare Event Searches will likely exceed the tonne scale during next decade. This make their performance sensitive to gas contamination levels as low 100 ppb, that is challenging room temperature due outgassing from structural materials. In this work we discuss distribution impurity mitigation on a 5 m-length/5 m-diameter 10 bar TPC filled with Ar/CF$_4$ admixed 99/1 per volume (1.75 tonne), loaded technical...
We report the development of a fast rotating target to produce ultrashort incoherent X-ray pulses from bremsstrahlung. These short are produced in laser-plasma interaction 35 fs, 1 mJ pulse Ti:Sa laser kHz repetition rate, with solid metallic target. In this paper, we our developments improve stability micron size source X-rays. As Rayleigh length is very small (<15 micron), wobbling rotatory stage can reduce intensity on and change characteristics source. describe methods have developed...
In this paper, we present a target system to produce protons from laser plasma interactions at high repetition rates. order increase the number of available shots needed for foreseen application, will help improve reproducibility and stability proton source. We describe experiments that carry out with 50 TW (1.2J, 25 fs, 10Hz) Laser Laboratory Acceleration Applications (L2A2) University Santiago Compostela study production radioactive isotopes medical imaging such as PET. multi-shot have...
Development of laser-plasma X-ray sources provides a new route to high brightness and small source size somewhere in the middle low cost micro-focus X-rays large scale synchrotron facilities. We explore one application this type with emphasis on stability at repetition rate advantage over similar conventional sources. In paper we report development for phase contrast imaging. The produced Laser Laboratory Acceleration Applications (L2A2) University Santiago de Compostela (USC), is made by...
Laser–plasma proton sources and their applications to preclinical research has become a very active field of in recent years. In addition small dimensions as compared classical ion accelerators, they offer the possibility study biological effects ultra-short particle bunches correspondingly high dose rates. We report on design an experimental setup for irradiation cell cultures at L2A2 laboratory University Santiago de Compostela, making use 1.2 J Ti: Sapphire laser with 10 Hz repetition...
