Monoenergetic Ion Beam Generation by Driving Ion Solitary Waves with Circularly Polarized Laser Light

Journal Article Jung, D ; Department fuer Physik, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet Muenchen, D-85748 Garching ; Max-Planck-Institut fuer Quantenoptik, D-85748 Garching ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Experimental data from the Trident Laser facility is presented showing quasimonoenergetic carbon ions from nm-scaled foil targets with an energy spread of as low as {+-}15% at 35 MeV. These results and high-resolution kinetic simulations show laser acceleration of quasimonoenergetic ion beams by the generation of ion solitons with circularly polarized laser pulses (500 fs, {lambda}=1054 nm). The conversion efficiency into monoenergetic ions is increased by an order of magnitude compared with previous experimental results, representing an important step towards applications such as ion fast ignition.

Multistaged acceleration of ions by circularly polarized laser pulse: Monoenergetic ion beam generation

Journal Article Xiaomei, Zhang ; Baifei, Shen ; Xuemei, Li ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

A multiple-staged ion acceleration mechanism in the interaction of a circularly polarized laser pulse with a solid target is studied by one-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation. The ions are accelerated from rest to several MeV monoenergetically at the front surface of the target. After all the plasma ions are accelerated, the acceleration process is repeated on the resulting monoenergetic ions. Under suitable conditions multiple repetitions can be realized and a high-energy quasi-monoenergetic ion beam can be obtained.

Mono-energetic ion beam acceleration in solitary waves during relativistic transparency using high-contrast circularly polarized short-pulse laser and nanoscale targets

Journal Article Yin, L ; Albright, B J ; Bowers, K J ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

In recent experiments at the Trident laser facility, quasi-monoenergetic ion beams have been obtained from the interaction of an ultraintense, circularly polarized laser with a diamond-like carbon target of nm-scale thickness under conditions of ultrahigh laser pulse contrast. Kinetic simulations of this experiment under realistic laser and plasma conditions show that relativistic transparency occurs before significant radiation pressure acceleration and that the main ion acceleration occurs after the onset of relativistic transparency. Associated with this transition are a period of intense ion acceleration and the generation of a new class of ion solitons that naturally give rise to quasi-monoenergetic ionmore »« less

Generating High-Current Monoenergetic Proton Beams by a Circularly Polarized Laser Pulse in the Phase-Stable Acceleration Regime

Journal Article Yan, X Q ; Center for Applied Physics and Technology, PekingUniversity, Beijing 100871 ; Lin, C ; ... - Physical Review Letters

A new ion acceleration method, namely, phase-stable acceleration, using circularly-polarized laser pulses is proposed. When the initial target density n{sub 0} and thickness D satisfy a{sub L}{approx}(n{sub 0}/n{sub c})D/{lambda}{sub L} and D>l{sub s} with a{sub L}, {lambda}{sub L}, l{sub s}, and n{sub c} the normalized laser amplitude, the laser wavelength in vacuum, the plasma skin depth, and the critical density of the incident laser pulse, respectively, a quasi equilibrium for the electrons is established by the light pressure and the space charge electrostatic field at the interacting front of the laser pulse. The ions within the skin depth of themore »« less
