The novel tool for the frontier of the exotic nucleus was proposed by fusing the high-intensity laser technology and the accelerator technology. We carried out its proof-of-concept experiments at the J-KAREN laser system. And, the iron which is simulated the produced exotic nucleus were extracted by the laser from aluminum membrane.
