Times Cited Count：2 Percentile：8.93(Physics, Applied)A proton beam driven by a repetitive high-intensity-laser is utilized to induce a 
Li(p,n)Be nuclear reaction. The total activity of Be are evaluated by two different methods. The activity obtained measuring the decay 
-rays after 1912 shots at 1 Hz is 1.7
0.2 Bq. This is in good agreement with 1.60.3 Bq evaluated from the proton energy distribution measured using a time-of-flight detector and the nuclear reaction cross-sections. We conclude that the production of activity can be monitored in real time using the time-of-flight-detector placed inside a diverging proton beam coupled with a high-speed signal processing system.

The acceleration of protons driven by a high-intensity laser is comprehensively investigated via control of the target density by using ASE just before the time of the main-laser interaction. Two cases were investigated for which the ASE intensity differed by three orders of magnitude: In the low contrast case the beam centre for higher energy protons is shifted closer to the laser-propagation direction of 45
, while the center of lower-energy beam remains near the target normal direction. Particle-in-cell simulations reveal that the characteristic proton acceleration is due to the quasistatic magnetic field on the target rear side with the magnetic pressure sustaining a charge separation electrostatic field.

Times Cited Count：59 Percentile：87.48(Physics, Applied)A pair of conventional permanent magnet quadrupoles is used to focus a 2.4 MeV laser-driven proton beam at a 1 Hz repetition rate. The magnetic field strengths are 55 T/m and 60 T/m for the first and second quadrupoles respectively. The proton beam is focused to a spot size (full width at half maximum) of 2.7
8 mm at a distance of 650 mm from the source. This result is in good agreement with a Monte Carlo particle trajectory simulation.

ASE pedestal duration is controlled by a fast electro-optic pulse slicer where the risetime is estimated to be 130 ps. We demonstrate a new correlated spectral technique for determining this risetime using a stretched, frequency chirped pulse.

At present, using ultra-short high intensity lasers at APRC, JAEA Kansai photon research institute, we are developing laser driven multiple quantum beams such as protons, X-rays, electrons and THz waves. These beams are perfectly synchronized with each other. The pulse duration of each beam is lass than a pico-second. They have sharp directionality with high brightness. If we properly combined these, we have new pump-probe techniques for various applications.

We studied the association of a Cu tolerant mycobiont, Tremolecia atrata (rusty-rock lichen) with Cu. T. atrata mycobiont cell aggregates, which grew into a sperical shape, rapidly absorbed Cu into their inner and outer parts. The EDS/SEM study showed that Cu was more highly accumulated in the inner part than the outer part of the aggregates. The XANES study revealed that the Cu absorbed by the T. atrata mycobiont was both monovalent and divalent. These results suggested that the T. atrata mycobiont's high tolerance to Cu is attributable to its ability to store Cu(I) inside the cytoplasm and to adsorb Cu(II) on the cell wall.

We report the result on a novel online analysis of fast ions generated in an ultraintense laser-foil interaction. Fast protons are observed by a time-of-flight (TOF) detector, which is precisely calibrated using proton beams from an ion accelerator as to its detection efficiency depending on the proton energy. The TOF detector provides shot-to-shot energy distributions of protons immediately after the irradiation of a high-intensity laser pulse of 10
W/cm
. Definite correlations are found between the prepulse intensity and the high energy cutoff of protons as well as the conversion efficiency of the laser energy into the proton energy, governing the stability of the repetitive proton generation.

We are investigating an intense fs-laser driven MeV proton source using a thin foil, and its applications. Simultaneous imaging of a sample with a proton and an X-ray beams has been demonstrated by a ultra-short pulse higt intensity Ti:Sapphire laser systems at JAEA and GIST. For generating a short-pulse proton beams and X-rays, an intense laser pulse irradiates a tape targets. The p-polarized laser pulse with 50 mm diameter is focused onto the cupper tape target at 45 degree incident angle with focal length of 238 mm (F/4.8), giving an intensity on target of 3-910W/cm10. The cupper and polyimide tape was 5, 7.5 micron in thickness and 20 mm in width. The target system supplies a fresh surface to the focus spot at every shot. We obtained simultaneously the projection image of a Ni mesh pattern having a periodically structured pattern by the proton detected CR39 and X-rays detected on imaging plate.

When the high energy proton beam was generated by the high intensity laser system, the image of the plasma produced by the laser system was measured with an X-ray pinhole camera system. The proton beam, which has maximum energy, was generated in the vicinity of the target position where the image size of the plasma was the smallest.

From our previous research, we have successfully produce MeV proton beam by 1Hz repetition rate stabely from the interaction between the femto-second TW laser with solid target. Produced proton beam exhibits lower emittance. The number of proton beam is 10
. However, it shows large divergence angle of 10 degree. The energy spectrum exhibits 100% energy spread. These are problematic for some specific applications. In this study we transported the laser-driven proton beam with permanent quadrapole magnet for the future application. We successfully obtain focused proton beam as well as the monochromatic proton beam. Those spatial distribution at the focus point as well as the spectral information is well reproduced by the montecalro simulation.

Experimental studies of laser-driven ion acceleration aimed at ion therapy for cancer treatment are being conducted at the PMRC of JAEA using the J-KAREN Ti:Sapphire laser system at JAEA's APRC. In recent experiments thin foil targets have been irradiated with focused 38 fs laser pulses at the 1.8J laser energy. The energy spectrum of the proton beam is observed to extend to a cut-off value in excess of 7-MeV. Our results expose the prospects and challenges associated with developing a laser-driven ion therapy facility.
