Ion Acceleration by Short Chirped Laser Pulses
Direct laser acceleration of ions by short frequency chirped laser pulses is investigated theoretically. We demonstrate that intense beams of ions with a kinetic energy broadening of about 1% can be generated. The chirping of the laser pulse allows the particles to gain kinetic energies of hundreds of MeVs, which is required for hadron cancer therapy, from pulses of energies in the order of 100...
متن کاملLaser wakefield acceleration by petawatt ultra-short laser pulses
An ultra-short (about 30 fs) petawatt laser pulse focused with a wide focal spot (about 100 μm) in a rarefied plasma (n0 ∼ 10 cm) excites a nonlinear plasma wakefield which can accelerate injected electrons up to the GeV energy without any pulse channelling. In these conditions, propagation of the laser pulse with an over-critical power for relativistic self-focusing is almost the same as in va...
متن کاملIon Acceleration driven by High-Intensity Laser Pulses
Within the framework of this thesis the ion acceleration from foils irradiated by high-intensity laser pulses was studied. The application of such laser accelerated ion beams could reach from compact fast-ion injectors for conventional particle accelerators over fast ignition for inertial confinement fusion to oncology and radiotherapy with ion beams. Proton imaging of laser produced plasmas is...
متن کاملHigh-Energy Ion Generation by Short Laser Pulses
This paper reviews the many recent advances at the Center for Ultrafast Optical Science (CUOS) at the University of Michigan in multi-MeV ion beam generation from the interaction of short laser pulses focused onto thin foil targets at intensities ranging from 10 17 to 10 19 W/cm 2 . Ion beam characteristics were studied by changing the laser intensity, laser wavelength, target material, and by ...
متن کاملBoosting laser-ion acceleration with multi-picosecond pulses
Using one of the world most powerful laser facility, we demonstrate for the first time that high-contrast multi-picosecond pulses are advantageous for proton acceleration. By extending the pulse duration from 1.5 to 6 ps with fixed laser intensity of 1018 W cm-2, the maximum proton energy is improved more than twice (from 13 to 33 MeV). At the same time, laser-energy conversion efficiency into ...
