Abstract :
In the SG-II upgrade project, a petawatt-class beamline is included for fundamental physics and advanced applications. Recently, an elliptical beam was employed for maximum energy while using pulse compression gratings with a size of 380mm×430mm and far-field fluence measurements were achieved in the target chamber.
