Abstrakt: We present the design and absolute calibration of a charged particle online readout CMOS system tailored for high-power laser experiments. This system equips a Thomson parabola spectrometer, which is used at the Apollon petawatt scale laser facility to measure the spectra of protons produced by high-intensity laser–target interactions. The RadEye1 CMOS matrices array detectors are paired with a custom triggering system for image grabbing. This allows us to register the proton and ion signals remotely. The repetition rate is presently 1 shot/min, but the frame grabbing enables the system to be compatible with modern high-power lasers running, e.g., at 1 Hz. We detail here the implementation, in the harsh electromagnetic environment of such interactions, of the system, and its absolute calibration, which was performed for proton energies from 4 to 20 MeV.
