Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 164802 (2008) [4 pages]Generating Monoenergetic Heavy-Ion Bunches with Laser-Induced Electrostatic Shocks
Received 22 May 2008; published 16 October 2008
A method for efficient laser acceleration of heavy ions by electrostatic shock is investigated using particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation and analytical modeling. When a small number of heavy ions are mixed with light ions, the heavy ions can be accelerated to the same velocity as the light ions so that they gain much higher energy because of their large mass. Accordingly, a sandwich target design with a thin compound ion layer between two light-ion layers and a micro-structured target design are proposed for obtaining monoenergetic heavy-ion beams. ©2008 The American Physical Society REFERENCES (20)
