Times Cited Count：72 Percentile：96.78(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)Almost fully stripped Fe ions accelerated up to 0.9 GeV are demonstrated with a 200 TW femtosecond high-intensity laser irradiating a micron-thick Al foil with Fe impurity on the surface. An energetic low-emittance high-density beam of heavy ions with a large charge-to-mass ratio can be obtained, which is useful for many applications, such as a compact radio isotope source in combination with conventional technology.

The contemporary radiofrequency accelerator technology provides radio-isotope beams for the research. However, the existing technology now faces difficulties in exploring the further frontiers. One of the solutions might be brought by the combination of the state of the art high intensity short pulse laser system and the nuclear measurement technique. Recent progress of the laser technology brought table-top lasers with focused intensity up to 10
Wcm
with only less than 10 J of energy on target. By the interaction with the solid density target, the laser can extract heavy ions in multi-charged state and low emittance, independently on the chemical properties of the target material. We propose Laser-driven Exotic Nuclei extraction-acceleration methods (LENex), in which the exotic nuclei which are the products in the target by the bombardment of the external ion beam, are extracted away by a femtosecond petawatt laser pulse in the form of highly-charged and high energy beam. As a proof-of-experiment of the LENex scheme, we demonstrate the extraction of the almost fully stripped iron ions with the energies of 0.9 GeV by J-KAREN laser system.
