| dc.description.abstract | Experimental studies of the collective acceleration
of laser produced ions have been conducted.
An intense relativistic electron beam (1 MeV, 30 kA,
30 ns) is emitted from a 4 mm diameter tungsten
cathode and passes through a 2.4 cm hole in a
stainless steel anode into a 14 cm diameter downstream
drift tube. Ions are provided on the downstream side
of the anode plane by firing a 4-10 J, 15 ns Q-switched
ruby laser pulse at solid or foil targets
mounted on the downstream side of the anode plane.
Accelerated ion energies are measured using time of
flight and range energy/track etching techniques. Ion
charge states are measured using an EIIB Thomson
spectrometer. Results will be compared with
measurements of the pre-acceleration characteristics
of the laser produced ions from these target
geometries obtained using an electrostatic analyzer. | en_US |
