Setup of stopping power experiment in a cold foil.

This article presents a planned experiments on laser-generated plasma probed with ions generated with LIGHT at a higher temporal resolution than previously achievable. The high temporal resolution is important because the parameters of laser-generated plasmas are changing on the nanosecond time scale. To meet this goal, preparatory experiments have dealt with ions of lower kinetic energies.
