摘要:

通过使用多维粒子模拟,我们提出了一个新的政权的稳定质子束加速时发生的两种形状的箔被照射的圆偏振激光脉冲。据观察,由于电荷质量比的差异,较轻的质子几乎瞬间从较重的碳离子中分离出来。重离子层在空间中广泛膨胀,并起到缓冲质子层的作用,使其不受瑞利-泰勒(RT)不稳定性的影响,否则会降低质子束的加速。一个简单的三界面模型,制定定性地解释了稳定的轻离子加速。由于不存在类RT不稳定性,即使在激光-箔相互作用结束后,所产生的高质量单能质子束团也能很好地保持。

英文摘要:

By using multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation, we present a new regime of stable proton beam acceleration which takes place when a two-specie shaped foil is illuminated by a circularly polarized laser pulse. It is observed that the lighter protons are nearly-instantaneously separated from the heavier carbon ions due to the charge-to-mass ratio difference. The heavy-ions layer extensively expands in space and acts to buffer the proton layer from the Rayleigh-Taylor-like (RT) instability that would have otherwise degraded the proton beam acceleration. A simple three-interface model is formulated to qualitatively explain the stabilization of the light-ions acceleration. Due to the absence of the RT-like instability, the produced high quality mono-energetic proton bunch can be well maintained even after the laser-foil interaction concludes.
