Characterization and focusing of light ion beams generated by ultra-intensely irradiated thin foils at the kilojoule scale

Journal Article Offermann, D T ; Flippo, K A ; Cobble, J ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

We present the first observations of focused multi-MeV carbon ion beams generated using ultra-intense shortpulse laser interactions with thin hemispherical (400{mu}m radius) targets. The experiments were performed at the Trident laser facility (80 J, 0.6 ps, 2x10{sup 20}W/cm{sup 2}) at Los Alamos National Laboratory and at the Omega EP (extended performance) facility (1 kJ, 10 ps, 5x10{sup 18}W/cm{sup 2}) at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics. The targets were chemical vapor deposition diamond, hemi-shells and were heated to remove contaminants. The ion beam focusing was characterized by tracing the projection of a witness mesh in the ion beam on a lithiummore »« less

Nonlinear {delta}f simulation studies of intense ion beam propagation through an alternating-gradient quadrupole focusing field

Journal Article Qian, Q ; Lee, W W ; Davidson, R C - Physics of Plasmas

Newly-developed perturbative ({delta}f) particle simulation techniques are used to investigate the detailed stability and transport properties of an intense ion beam propagating through an alternating-gradient focusing lattice with initial Kapchinskij-Vladimirskij (KV) distribution. Stability properties are investigated over a wide range of beam current and focusing field strength. In the unstable region, large-amplitude density perturbations with low azimuthal harmonic numbers, concentrated near the beam surface, are observed, and their nonlinear consequences are discussed. In the stable region, it is shown that the KV beam distribution propagates quiescently over large distances (up to 500 lattice periods in the simulations). The {delta}f-scheme usedmore »« less

Chaotic particle motion and halo formation induced by charge nonuniformities in an intense ion beam propagating through a periodic quadrupole focusing field

Journal Article Qian, Q ; Davidson, R C ; Chen, C - Physics of Plasmas

A test-particle model is used to investigate the charged-particle dynamics in an intense matched ion beam with nonuniform density profile propagating through an alternating-gradient quadrupole focusing field in the space-charge-dominated regime. It is shown that self-field nonlinearities due to the transverse nonuniformity in the beam density profile not only can result in chaotic ion motion but also can cause halo formation by the ejection of particles from the beam core. The structure of the particle phase space is studied. It is shown that the process of halo formation can occur on a fast time scale---on the order of a fewmore »« less
