KEK Digital Accelerator (DA) is a small scale induction synchrotron and operated at 10Hz and recently has succeeded to accelerate gaseous ions*. There is a strong demand of fully striped carbon ions because the DA is regarded as the second generation of cancer therapy driver, which does not require an injector and electron stripper. We need a novel carbon ion source providing C⁶⁺ beams, which are directly injected into the DA and accelerated up to required energy. For this purpose, a laser ablation ion source(LAIS) is promising**. To obtain high yield C⁶⁺ ions from ablation plasma, the laser irradiation condition has been evaluated and relationship between beam properties of charge spectrum, intensity, and temperature, and carbon target materials were examined. Two laser systems, long pulse (6 ns) and short pulse (170 ps), were employed to irradiate a graphite and amorphous carbon target. The current densities and profile of the generated plasmas in time were measured and charge state distributions were analyzed. In addition we will report a full design integrating this LAIS, the extraction system, the longitudinal chopper system, and the low energy beam transport line.
