| 4 | Ultrafast probing of plasma ion temperature in proton–boron fusion by nuclear resonance fluorescence emission spectroscopy显示文摘ABSTRACT Aneutronic fusion reactions such as proton-boron fusion could efficiently produce clean energy with quite low neutron doses.However,as a consequence,conventional neutron spectral methods for diagnosing plasma ion temperature would no longer work.Therefore,finding a way to probe the ion temperature in aneutronic fusion plasmas is a crucial task.Here,we present a method to realize ultrafast in situ probing of^(11)B ion temperature for proton-boron fusion by Doppler broadening of the nuclear resonance fluorescence(NRF)emission spectrum.The NRF emission is excited by a collimated,intenseγ-ray beam generated from submicrometer wires irradiated by a recently available petawatt(PW)laser pulse,where theγ-ray beam generation is calculated by three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation.When the laser power is higher than 1 PW,five NRF signatures of a^(11)B plasma can be clearly identified with high-resolutionγ-ray detectors,as shown by our Geant4 simulations.The correlation between the NRF peak width and^(11)B ion temperature is discussed,and it is found that NRF emission spectroscopy should be sensitive to 11B ion temperatures T_(i)>2.4 keV.This probing method can also be extended to other neutron-free-fusion isotopes,such as^(6)Li and^(15)N. | T.-T.Qin W.Luo H.-Y.Lan W.-M.Wang | 2022 | Matter and Radiation at Extremes2022，7，3： | 0 |
