基于 SiC材料的激光加速质子束辐照特性研究

By irradiating the nuclear material SiC, the characteristics of continuous wide energy spectrum, short pulse and high instantaneous current intensity of the laser-accelerated proton beam have been characterized. The SiC samples were placed at a distance of 4 cm from the target. The 300 shots proton beams were irradiated with a continuous wide energy spectrum proton beam of 1– 4.5 MeV, which satisfied the exponential energy spectrum distribution. The surface and cross-section Raman characterizations showed that the intensity of the SiC scattering peaks after irradiation were reduced. The overall trend of Raman cross-section measurement was consistent with the depth of the distribution of energy loss by SRIM simulation. Thus, the experimental characterization of laser-accelerated proton beam with continuous energy distribution was realized. In addition, experiments showed that the short pulse characteristic of the laser-accelerated proton beam could produce a relatively high instantaneous beam current density on the SiC surface. The ultra-fast wide energy spectrum irradiation provides a possibility in simulated reactor neutron irradiation.
