Article Synopsis
- - Measurement of proton spectra is crucial for high energy density physics experiments, but existing diagnostics struggle with low-energy protons and high debris scenarios.
- - A new compact magnetic spectrometer called MagSpec was created to specifically measure proton spectra in the 1-20 MeV range, focusing on the low-energy range of 1-6 MeV for use at facilities like OMEGA and NIF.
- - The MagSpec works by dispersing protons of various energies through a magnetic field, allowing for a spatial distribution of CR-39 tracks that reflects the energy spectrum, and the paper details its design and implementation.
