Description
Muon tomography has become in the last few years one of the most widely studied applications of Laser - Wakefield Acceleration (LWFA). In order to create a reliable muon source, we stabilized the electron beams energy gain to high-energies peaking between 6 and 8 GeV and integrated charge of hundreds of pC. To ensure the detection of muon beams, heavy shielding was installed. The detectors employed in the reconstruction of the muon beams were placed in 15 different positions.
Here we present the computational tools we developed for the characterization of electron beams and a few preliminary results from the experimental campaign conducted at ELI-NP.
