Diagnostics for laser plasma interaction in the target chamber of the LIL

POSTER

Abstract

The main features of the diagnostics for laser plasma interaction in the target chamber of the LIL will be presented. The LIL facility (Ligne d'Int\'{e}gration Laser) is located at CEA CESTA near Bordeaux in France. Fist experiments were performed in 2004 with x-ray diagnostics. The remaining diagnostics will be available before the next experiments. The set of diagnostics to characterize the interaction of the quadruplet laser beam with the target includes the full aperture back scattering diagnostic called DRED, the full aperture transmitted laser light imaging camera, the near back scattering and the near forward scattering imaging cameras. Ten modules with UV, visible and x-ray diodes are installed on the target chamber for power measurements. X-ray imagery diagnostics include two multi-imagers with mirrors and framing camera, two mirror imagers with streak camera, a multi pinhole framing camera and a pinhole camera with film. For x ray spectrometry measurements, there is a broad band x ray spectrometer, similar to DMX now on OMEGA, LLE, a hard x ray broad band spectrometer and two crystal x-ray spectrometer. For equation of state measurements a VISAR diagnostic will be installed in 2006.
