What is it about?
The interaction of laser with matter is beneficial to many applications in science and technology. One important aspect is the generation of extreme bursts of secondary radiation, which can be used to irradiate samples. This work explores a non-invasive monitoring system for such radiation sources, such as the stability of the source can be followed.

Why is it important?
Laser-generated secondary sources are a vibrant field in laser-plasma physics, with its application in medicine, cultural heritage, and nuclear physics. Most monitors for dose of radiation rely on deposition, which renders them incompatible with a simultaneous irradiation of samples. This work presents a novel scheme for monitoring, which does allow for simultaneous irradiation of samples.
Perspectives
This work is based on international collaboration enabled by the late framework of LaserLAB. The funding of fundamental science based on a sound peer-reviewed proposal, not bound to projects, enabled this outstanding results.
