  A C6+ laser ion source has been developed for a heavy ion accelerator, which supplies pulsed ion beam for single-turn injection system of a synchrotron by one laser shot. A graphite plate is irradiated with a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm of wavelength, 1.4 J of maximum laser energy, 10 ns of pulse duration) to generate carbon ions. The characteristics of the ion beam were studied by using the time-of-flight mass spectroscopy and the magnetic momentum analyzer. Results of the experiments are presented.
