“…As experimental facilities develop high repetition rate capabilities, the need for mass production of high-quality and reproducible samples has become apparent [15]. First high-shot-rate experiments have been performed using fast rotating or scanning sample delivery systems [14,16,17], tape targets [18], continuous cryogenic liquid jets [19], and cluster sources [20] leading to high fidelity measurements.…”

A: We present a low-cost, high-resolution laser cutting system designed for use in the fabrication of samples for high energy density physics. Such samples are necessarily small but require precision and repeatability, particularly with the recently available high repetition rates possible at modern facilities. The system allows simultaneous laser cutting, using nanosecond near-infrared laser pulses, and optical microscopy so that the cut can be monitored in real time. The capabilities of the system are demonstrated on a range of materials for both laser-matter interaction targets and components for high pressure diamond anvil cell experiment.

We demonstrate high repetition-rate deuteron acceleration by irradiating a continuously flowing, ambient temperature liquid heavy water jet with the high-intensity ALEPH laser. The laser delivered up to 5.5 J (120 TW, 1.2 × 1021 W/cm2) laser energy on target at 0.5 Hz. A high repetition-rate Thomson parabola spectrometer measured the deuteron beam energy spectra on each shot for 60 sequential shots (two minutes). Peak fluxes of [Formula: see text] deuterons/sr/pulse, corresponding to an average flux of [Formula: see text] deuterons/sr/min, were demonstrated with deuteron energies reaching up to 4.4 MeV. High shot-to-shot stability is observed up to 40%–50% of the maximum deuteron energy. These deuteron beams are suited for fast neutron production through deuteron breakup in a converter yielding energies similar to deuteron–deuteron (D–D, 2.45 MeV) fusion reactions of importance for material damage studies.

Laser-driven proton accelerators are relevant candidates for many applications such as material science or medicine. Today, there are multi-hundred-TW table-top laser systems that can generate relativistic peak intensities >1018 W/cm2 and routinely reach proton energies in the MeV range. However, for most desired applications, there is still a need to optimize the quality and stability of the laser-generated proton beam. In this work, we developed a 0.625 Hz high repetition-rate setup in which a laser with 2.5% RMS energy stability is irradiating a solid target with an intensity of 1019 to 1020 W/cm2 to explore proton energy and yield variations, both with high shot statistics (up to about 400 laser shots) and using different interaction targets. Investigating the above-mentioned parameters is important for applications that rely on specific parts of the proton spectrum or a high ion flux produced over quick multi-shot irradiation. We demonstrate that the use of a stable “multi-shot mode” allows improving applications, e.g., in the detection of trace elements using laser-driven particle-induced x-ray emission.
