    Area of Science:

    • Plasma Physics
    • Astrophysics
    • Laser Spectroscopy

    Background:

    • Magnetic reconnection is a fundamental plasma process driving energetic particle acceleration.
    • Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) is a key diagnostic for measuring ion properties in plasmas.
    • Optimizing LIF signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is crucial for accurate measurements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop an improved data processing method for LIF measurements in the PHASMA experiment.
    • To enhance the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of argon ion temperature measurements during magnetic reconnection.
    • To reduce the number of laser shots required for high-fidelity plasma diagnostics.

    Main Methods:

    • Implementation of a matched filter processing technique for pulsed laser-induced fluorescence data.
    • Analysis of simulated and experimental data from the PHASMA experiment.
    • Comparison of the matched filter method against traditional averaging techniques.

    Main Results:

    • The matched filter method demonstrated a significant improvement in the processed SNR.
    • Up to a 20% increase in processed SNR was observed compared to conventional methods.
    • Reduced uncertainty in the determination of ion distribution functions was achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • The matched filter technique offers a more efficient approach to LIF data analysis.
    • This method enables more precise measurements of ion heating in magnetic reconnection events.
    • The improved SNR facilitates better understanding of plasma dynamics and particle acceleration.
