We develop a compact experimental setup to accelerate atoms from thin foils and gas targets. The energy and flux of plasma ions are measured with a Thomson parabola spectrometer and nuclear track detectors. We focus on the aneutronic p11B reaction which generates three energetic alpha particles. The yield of fusion products is measured with time-of-flight spectroscopy. We investigate the...

This study explores how gold nanoparticle doping enhances medium absorption under laser infrared pulses of intensities ~10^15 - 10^18 W/cm2. Traditionally, not the particle-in-cell method comes first in mind, however, we can also investigate effects which cannot be considered with common methods. Using numerical modeling and the EPOCH software, we investigate how nanoparticles of various...
