Abstract
Diamond monocrystalline detectors were used to characterize radiation and particle emission from laser-generated plasma obtained at Laboratori Nazionali del Sud (LNS) and Plasma Asterix Laser Systems (PALS) laboratories by using a high power pulsed laser intensity of 1010W/cm2 and 1016W/cm2, respectively. Al, Ta, Au and CF2 plasmas were obtained in different irradiation conditions. Diamond detectors permitted to measure UV, X-rays, electrons and ions. Time-of-flight technique was employed to separate in time the different contributions. Results indicate that this detector has some advantages with respect to the others, such as the high energy gap, the high energy resolution, the low background current and the possibility to detect simultaneously photons, electrons and ions.
