In this paper, we will study the potential high-flux electron beam production of an LWFA driven by petawatt-level laser pulses. In our three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations, an optimal set of parameters gives -40 nC of charge with 2 PW laser power, thus -400 kA of instantaneous current if we assume the electron beam duration is 100 fs. This high flux and its secondary radiation are widely applicable in nuclear and QED physics, industrial imaging, medical and biological studies.展开更多

Compared with the traditional heat flux sensor, the integral type heat flux sensor improved spatial resolution up to an order of magnitude, and the size of the sensing elements has been minimized to 0.1 mm successfully, which satisfied the heat flux measurement requirements at R0.5 mm pointed cone stagnation point. A constantan film was used as the contact layer of the integral heat flux sensor, which was prepared by electron beam coevaporation method. The influence of sensor structure on the accuracy of measurement was analyzed using numerical calculation. The measurement results in shock wave wind tunnel indicated that the response frequency was about100 kHz and the repeatability error was less than 10 %.展开更多
