The up-grade plan for the heavy ion accelerator facilities in the world is now going on. The important issues to be solved is how to make high-current, high Q/M and high energy heavy ion beam. To make smaller size heavy ion accelerator is important in order to minimize the construction and running costs. The key issue is, "whether or not we can obtain high Q/M ion beam at the very beginning of the accelerator stages". However, the existing conventional ion-source technology can supply the beam of Q/M 
0.2. On the other hand, our research at is to accelerate the ions by the laser-based method by using high contrast high intensity short pulse laser system, J-KAREN. Thanks to the extra-ordinary high quasi-static electric field of 
100 TV/m set in our method, the ions are efficiently stripped and accelerated toward high energy. By optimizing the condition, it is very probable that not only the laser-based ion source but also the laser-based ion injector would be realized. We show the experimental results of high-energy heavy ion acceleration by the interaction between high intensity short-pulse laser pulse interaction with the thin-foil target.

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.
