CHEDS
Experimental Objectives
List and explain in detail the scientific objectives of the experimental run.
Describe the intended outcome of the experiment and show charts if
applicable
CHEDS
Experimental Concept
Explain the concept for achieving the experimental objectives
CHEDS
Experimental Concept Figure
o Show a diagram of the experimental concept.
For example:
CHEDS
Experimental Diagram and setup
o Include the experimental diagram form your proposal with
updates if any
CHEDS
Equipment & Resource lists
o Complete the following table of proposed diagnostics. This list will be
further developed and updated at the 3-month readiness review
Name
Type
Location (inside, on flange
or outside chamber)
Status (complete, in
development etc.)
o List equipment supplied by TPW that the experiment requires.
Use additional pages as needed
CHEDS
Experimental plan concept
o List all measurements required to achieve experimental objectives.
o Describe your tentative shot plan:
o Quantity and description of targets and who is responsible for
fabrication and delivery
oNumber of shots anticipated for each type of target or configuration (i.e.
angle, p-polarization, in focus, defocused etc.)
o List laser requirements:
o Energy
o Pulse duration
o Intensity
o Prepulse contrast ratio
CHEDS
Experimental plan & shot requests (continued)
o
CHEDS
Describe experimental direction. As far as you can anticipate, how will your shot plan
change depending on what you see? How critical are specific pulse parameters, and how
will you adapt the experiment if laser parameters are not exactly as requested ?
