This work aims at studying different schemes of laser-driven p-11B reaction exploiting the high-power and the high repetition rate of VEGAIII laser to improve the alpha production detection and Scandium radioisotope production. Different setups are proposed: (i) Pitcher-catcher configuration: TNSA proton produced from thin aluminium foil target (Pitcher) interact on a solid B type target (catcher) and (ii) Directly irradiation of solid samples of Boron-nitride (BN) target.
We present in this work the experimental setup and the diagnostics used during the campaign, as well as the first preliminary results of the experiment.
