Abstract

A review of recent developments in intense ion beam diagnostics used in the international light ion inertial confinement fusion (ICF) programs will be presented. These developments have occurred in each of the several generic classes of diagnostics, namely, imaging diagnostics, particle spectrograph diagnostics, nuclear activation, and visible spectroscopy. Critical beam parameters measured by the new diagnostics include spatial profile, absolute number, species, anode plasma temperature and density, voltage, current density, and power density. A unique feature of most of these diagnostics is that they are capable of operating in hard (multi-MeV) X-ray (bremsstrahlung) backgrounds of some 109–1011 rad/s. The operating principles of each diagnostic will be summarized in the paper with examples of how the diagnostics may be integrated together to form a complete diagnostic system. The paper will close with a discussion of two new data acquisition systems that have been developed for intense beam diagnostics.
