Abstract
The high sensitivity of traditional diagnostic methods hinders their application in inertial confinement fusion with the pulsed radiation power of target plasma being as high as 1013–1014 W. Different methods of attenuating the incident radiation flux either alter its characteristics or are too complicated. The results of tests of a new detector, where quartz glass is used as a sensing element, at the Angara-5-1 facility are presented. It is demonstrated experimentally that the detector sensitivity is ~2 V/(MW cm2) and the time resolution is ~1 ns. The mechanism of formation of the response signal, where the temperature of electrons produced under irradiation plays a significant part, is discussed.
