Times Cited Count:26 Percentile:79.36(Physics, Nuclear)A laser-driven repetition-rated 1.9 MeV proton beam line composed of permanent quadrupole magnets (PMQs), a radio frequency (rf) phase rotation cavity, and a tunable monochromator is developed to evaluate and to test the simulation of laser-accelerated proton beam transport through an integrated system for the first time. In addition, the proton spectral modulation and focusing behavior of the rf phase rotationcavity device is monitored with input from a PMQ triplet. In the 1.9 MeV region we observe very weakproton defocusing by the phase rotation cavity. The final transmitted bunch duration and transverse profile are well predicted by the PARMILA particle transport code. The transmitted proton beam duration of 6 ns corresponds to an energy spread near 5% for which the transport efficiency is simulated to be 10%. The predictive capability of PARMILA suggests that it can be useful in the design of future higher energy transport beam lines as part of an integrated laser-driven ion accelerator system.

Times Cited Count:23 Percentile:76.26(Physics, Nuclear)The pointing stability and divergence of a quasimonoenergetic electron bunch generated in a self-injected laser-plasma acceleration regime using 4 TW laser is studied. A pointing stability of 2.4 mrad root-mean-square (RMS) and a beam divergence of 10.6 mrad (RMS) were obtained using an argon gas-jet target for 50 sequential shots, while these values were degraded by a factor of three at the optimum condition using helium. The peak electron energies were 8.5
0.7 MeV and 24.8
3.6 MeV using argon and helium, respectively. The experimental results indicate that the different propagation condition could be generated with the different material, although it is performed with the same irradiation condition.

We present the results of the experiment of laser-driven proton acceleration with the interaction between laser and thin foil target. The maximum energy of the laser-driven protons increases as the intensity of the laser increases. In order to accelerate the proton beam toward higher energy with the limited energy of laser, we need to increase the intensity of the laser. For that purpose, we upgraded the laser mirrors in the beam line. As a result the intensity of the laser increases about one oreder of magnitude. With the tape target, we obtain proton beam whose maximum energy is 23 MeV. We also conducted the plasma mirror to increase the contrast of the laser. We show the detail of the proton acceleration results with the plasma mirror.

The collimatability of quasi-monoenergetic electron beam production in the self-injected laser-plasma acceleration regime is studied. The collimation of electron beam drived by terawatt femtosecond laser (4.1 TW, 40 fs) is measured at two species of gas material (Helium gasjet and Argon gasjet). We measured 3.2 mrad pointing stability and beam divergence of 11 mrad (r.m.s.) at Argon gasjet for 50 sequencial shots. At such condition, the peak electron energy is 9.1
1.0 MeV with 80% reproducebility. For Helium, the pointing stability is three times larger than that of Argon. It is considered that the laser channel formation is important role for stable electron beam generation.

The stability and collimatability of quasi-monoenergetic electron beam production in the self-injected laser-plasma acceleration regime are studied. The collimation of electron beam drived by terawatt femtosecond laser (4.5 TW, 40 fs) is measured at two species of gas material (Helium gasjet and Argon gasjet). We measured 3.2 mrad pointing stability and beam divergence of 11 mrad (r.m.s.) at Argon gasjet for 50 continuous shots. At such condition, the peak electron energy is 9.1
1.6 MeV. For Helium, the pointing stability is three times larger than that of Argon. It is considered that the laser channel formation is important role for stable electron beam generation.
