Control of laser ablation plasma by pulsed magnetic field for heavy ion beam production | |
|
||
Laser ion source can provide high brightness heavy ion beam. In the source, a plasma produced by a pulsed laser irradiation on a solid material drifts toward the extraction electrode. In the meantime, the plasma expands spatially and its flux density at the extraction point dramatically changes within a beam pulse. To stabilize the variation, we try to control the expanding plasma by applying pulsed magnetic field. So that we may achieve flat or tailored beam current profile. For this purpose, we are designing coils and pulsed circuit and these will be experimentally verified. | ||
