Description
In the past two decades, the generation of intense ion beams based on laser-driven sources became an extensively investigated and promising field. The LIGHT collaboration combines a laser-driven proton source with conventional accelerator technology.
In this context, a laser-driven multi-MeV ion beamline was realized at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung. A 100 TW-beam from the local PHELIX laser drives the TNSA source resulting in a exponentially decaying TNSA spectrum. In the second step, protons with an energy of 8 MeV are selected via chromatic focusing with a pulsed high-field solenoid. Afterwards, they are injected into an rf cavity and rotated in phase-space allowing to create energy- or time-compressed particle bunches. Finally, a second solenoid is used for final focusing achieving a focal spot of 1.1 mm x 1.2 mm (FWHM).
On this poster, the complete beamline with its focusing capabilities at the interaction point 6 m away from source will be demonstrated.
