Generation of highly-charged heavy ions such as fully stripped C6+ of more than hundreds mA of beam current can be possible only with a laser ablation ion source (LIS). Heavy ions are produced from a solid target irradiated by a pulsed high power laser. Recent study showed that only sub-micron range of surface layer contributes for the generation of highly-charged heavy ions. In this paper, we experimentally investigated the difference of the performance of highly-charged carbon ion production from graphite targets of different thickness (25, 70, 254, and 3000 'm) to seek the possibility of a rolled target to overcome the limitation of a target lifetime. |

MOPIK053 | Design Study of High Repetition Rate Laser Ion Source for High Power Beam Production | 638 |
|

Funding: This work was supported by the U.S. Department of Energy and National Aeronautics and Space Administration. We are studying a laser ion source (LIS) for a high average beam power heavy ion beam production. A LIS is the most intense source of pulsed highly-charged ions using a laser ablation scheme. By increasing the repetition rate, a LIS based heavy ion beam would approach the average beam power based on a low beam current and continuous beam regime. In addition, a high-repetition-rate LIS can be used as a heavy ion source for a medical accelerator with spot scanning technique. This paper will describe the requirements to realize the high repetition rate operation. |
