Two parameter model of Fuji imaging plate response function to protons
Abstract
Imaging plates are phosphor films routinely used in ultra high intensity laser experiments. They offer the possibilities of both imaging the beams of ionizing particles generated in the laser-matter interaction and characterizing their energy distribution. The response functions of the imaging plates are necessary to relate the detected signal intensity to the absolute flux of incoming particles. In this report we review our model of the response functions and discuss its parameters. We detail how we calibrated the parameters of the response functions to protons from absolute measurements. Their uncertainties are also presented. © (2013) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE). Downloading of the abstract is permitted for personal use only.
