Understanding our future through Open Access research about our past...

Strathprints makes available scholarly Open Access content by researchers in the Centre for the Social History of Health & Healthcare (CSHHH), based within the School of Humanities, and considered Scotland's leading centre for the history of health and medicine.

Research at CSHHH explores the modern world since 1800 in locations as diverse as the UK, Asia, Africa, North America, and Europe. Areas of specialism include contraception and sexuality; family health and medical services; occupational health and medicine; disability; the history of psychiatry; conflict and warfare; and, drugs, pharmaceuticals and intoxicants.

Abstract

The observations of proton emission from wire targets, performed at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory were reported. The experiments were carried out by using the Chirped Pulsed Amplification beam line of VULCAN laser facility. It was observed that the presence of objects in the vicinity of the interaction had an effect on the angular emission pattern of protons from the primary targets. The results show that the objects in close proximity of the main target can become sheath formation on the secondary object.
