Reaching for highest ion beam intensities through laser ion acceleration and beam compression — •Dennis Schumacher1, Diana Jahn2, Johannes Ding2, Christian Brabetz1, Abel Blazevic1, Vincent Bagnoud1, Florian Kroll3, Ulrich Schramm3, Tom Cowan3, Simon Weih1, and Markus Roth2 for the LIGHT collaboration — 1GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung — 2TU Darmstadt — 3Helmholtzzentrum Dresden Rossendorf
Laser ion acceleration provides access to ion sources with unique properties. To use these capabilities the LIGHT collaboration (Laser Ion Generation Handling and Transport) was founded. The aim of this collaboration is the beam transport and manipulation of laser accelerated ions with conventional accelerator structures. Therefor a dedicated beam line has been build up at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung. With this beam line the manipulation of the transversal and also the longitudinal beam parameters has been achieved. It has been shown that laser generated ion beams can be transported over more than 6 meters and pulses shorter than 300 ps can be generated at this distance. This Talk will give an overview over the recent developments and plans of the LIGHT collaboration.
