摘要:

采用多维粒子模拟方法研究了等离子体中静电冲击的产生和背景离子的反射,从而产生高质量、高能量的离子束。静电冲击是由具有不同密度和/或相对漂移速度的两个等离子体的相互作用驱动的。由激波反射的离子的能量和数量随着两个相互作用的等离子体之间的密度比和相对漂移速度的增加而增加。结果表明,强激光与定制的近临界密度等离子体的相互作用,允许有效加热的等离子体电子和陡峭的等离子体轮廓在临界密度界面,导致产生高速激波结构和高能离子束。我们的研究结果表明,高品质的200兆电子伏冲击加速离子束所需的医疗应用可以获得与当前的激光系统。

英文摘要:

Multi-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations are used to study the generation of electrostatic shocks in plasma and the reflection of background ions to produce high-quality and high-energy ion beams. Electrostatic shocks are driven by the interaction of two plasmas with different density and/or relative drift velocity. The energy and number of ions reflected by the shock increase with increasing density ratio and relative drift velocity between the two interacting plasmas. It is shown that the interaction of intense lasers with tailored near-critical density plasmas allows for the efficient heating of the plasma electrons and steepening of the plasma profile at the critical density interface, leading to the generation of high-velocity shock structures and high-energy ion beams. Our results indicate that high-quality 200 MeV shock-accelerated ion beams required for medical applications may be obtained with current laser systems.
