Na. Suslov et al., ALPHA-PARTICLE IMAGING OF THE COMPRESSED REGION OF HIGH-ASPECT-RATIO MICROTARGETS IN THE ISKRA-4 LASER EXPERIMENTS, Plasma physics reports, 24(2), 1998, pp. 130-132
The method of alpha-particle imaging of the compressed region of micro
targets with the use of LR-115 track detector is described. The method
was used in high-aspect-ratio (A(s)> 200) target experiments in the I
skra-4 laser device. Straight-line and annular slits were used for ima
ging. The measured size of the compressed region was similar to 1/3 of
the initial diameter of the target.
