A New Line for Laser-Driven Light Ions Acceleration and Related TNSA Studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present the status of the line for laser-driven light ions acceleration (L3IA) currently under implementation at the Intense Laser Irradiation Laboratory (ILIL), and we provide an overview of the pilot experimental activity on laser-driven ion acceleration carried out in support of the design of the line. A description of the main components is given, including the laser, the beam transport line, the interaction chamber, and the diagnostics. A review of the main results obtained so far during the pilot experimental activity is also reported, including details of the laser-plasma interaction and ion beam characterization. A brief description of the preliminary results of a dedicated numerical modeling is also provided.

Ion acceleration from relativistic laser nano-target interaction
Laser-ion acceleration has been of particular interest over the last decade for fundamental as well as applied sciences. Remarkable progress has been made in realizing laser-driven accelerators that are cheap and very compact compared with conventional rf-accelerators. Proton and ion beams have been produced with particle energies of up to 50MeV and several MeV/u, respectively, with outstanding...
متن کاملMulti-energy ion implantation from high-intensity laser
The dominant regime in most of experiments on ion acceleration from solid targets is the target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA). It is used in laser-matter interaction for laser intensities ranging approximately between 1016 and 1022 W/cm2 as reported in several publications [1, 2]. Several models and scaling laws have been suggested to predict the maximum ion energy of accelerated ions in th...
متن کاملSimulation study of plasma expansion in the early stage of TNSA
For intensities of the PHELIX laser [1] the Target Normal Sheath Acceleration (TNSA) is the most important acceleration mechanism. The ion beams accelerated in this way should be collimated and transported by a solenoid to other accelerator components. In order to optimize the transport and to increase the collimation dedicated simulation studies are needed [1]. The two dimensional phasespace d...

CO2 laser-plasma interactions provide a unique parameter space for using a gas jet for Target Normal Sheath Acceleration (TNSA) of ions instead of a thin foil target. The generation of 1-5 MeV protons from the interaction of a 3 ps TW CO2 laser pulse with a gas target with a peak density around the critical plasma density (10 cm) has been studied by 2D particle-in-cell simulations. The proton a...

Nowadays, due to the high costs and large dimensions of the conventional proton accelerators, other optimal methods for producing the proton beam have been studied. Using of Laser-driven proton accelerators is one of the important and new methods. In laser-driven ion acceleration, a highly ultra-intense laser pulse interacts with solid density targets and will create a plasma media that will ac...
