Monoenergetic Proton Beams from Laser Driven Shocks
Laser driven ion acceleration (LDIA) has the potential to deliver compact and affordable accelerators for applications in many fields of science and medicine. Specifically, radiotherapy of cancerous tumors requires ion energies in the range of 200-300 MeV/a.m.u. and with energy spreads on the order of 5%, parameters thus far beyond the LDIA experimental results using the most powerful lasers in...
متن کاملPolarized Proton and Deuteron Beams at COSY
Aim of this paper is to present a brief and basic introduction to polarized beams and the behaviour of a particle’s spin in an electromagnetic field. It is not intended to give a complete presentation of the spin dynamic theory. Instead the most important features are given without proof and details not absolutely necessary are left out. Spin depolarizing mechanisms are discussed and the cures ...
متن کاملEfficient quasi-monoenergetic ion beams from laser-driven relativistic plasmas.
Table-top laser-plasma ion accelerators have many exciting applications, many of which require ion beams with simultaneous narrow energy spread and high conversion efficiency. However, achieving these requirements has been elusive. Here we report the experimental demonstration of laser-driven ion beams with narrow energy spread and energies up to 18 MeV per nucleon and ∼5% conversion efficiency...
متن کاملQuasi-monoenergetic electron beams produced by colliding cross-polarized laser pulses in underdense plasmas
The interaction of two laser pulses in an underdense plasma has been proven to be able to inject electrons into plasma waves, thus providing a stable and tunable source of electrons. Whereas previous works focused on the ‘beatwave’ injection scheme in which two lasers with the same polarization collide in a plasma, this present paper studies the effect of polarization and more specifically the ...
متن کاملDense monoenergetic proton beams from chirped laser-plasma interaction.
Interaction of a frequency-chirped laser pulse with single protons and a hydrogen gas target is studied analytically and by means of particle-in-cell simulations, respectively. The feasibility of generating ultraintense (10(7) particles per bunch) and phase-space collimated beams of protons (energy spread of about 1%) is demonstrated. Phase synchronization of the protons and the laser field, gu...
