The detection of the ionic products of low-rate fusion reactions, and in particular of the 11B
(p, α) 2α, is one of the recognized main problems in experiments where these reactions are …

With the development of laser technologies, nuclear reactions can happen in high-
temperature plasma environments induced by lasers and have attracted a lot of attention …

The recent achievement of fusion ignition with laser-driven technologies at the National
Ignition Facility sets a historic accomplishment in fusion energy research. This …

Driving the nuclear fusion reaction p+ 11B-> 3 alpha+ 8.7 MeV in laboratory conditions, by
interaction between high-power laser pulses and matter, has become a popular field of …

Thomson spectrometers (TS) are designed to detect and distinguish protons from heavier
ions in experiments of intense laser-matter interaction. The combination of electric and …

The aneutronic 11B (p, α) 2α fusion reaction driven by the interaction of high-energy lasers
with matter has become a popular topic of research, since it represents a potential long-term …

The Thomson parabola ion spectrometer is vulnerable to intense electromagnetic pulses
(EMPs) generated by a high-power laser interacting with solid targets. A metal shielding …

The energy problem is an open issue becoming increasingly pressing. The possibility to use
nuclear fusion as an alternative energy source is thus acquiring progressively more …

By employing analytic solutions for the electromagnetic field at resonance absorption, first
derived by Denisov, the total nonlinear force, in the plane of incidence has been evaluated …

When most authors, or teams, may tend to subjectively favour their own results, the book's
high objectivity is, on the whole, rather rare. One exception may be on p. 229, where it is …
