摘要:

对静电冲击波中离子加速问题进行了数值研究,旨在确定激光驱动系统中获得准单能离子束的最佳等离子体结构。最近的研究表明,以长尺度的后密度分布为特征的近临界密度等离子体导致具有低能量扩展的光束[F。Fiúza等人,Physical Review Letters 109,215001(2012)]。在这项工作中,进行了详细的参数扫描调查不同的等离子体尺度长度。因此,最佳的等离子体空间尺度长度,允许最小化的能量扩散,同时确保由冲击的离子的显着的反射被识别。此外,提出了一种新的配置,其中所需的配置文件已获得通过耦合不同密度的微层。结果表明,这种新的工程方法是一种有效的替代方案,保证了较低的能量扩散,具有较高的可控性。

英文摘要:

A numerical study on ion acceleration in electrostatic shock waves is presented, with the aim of determining the best plasma configuration to achieve quasi-monoenergetic ion beams in laser-driven systems. It was recently shown that tailored near-critical density plasmas characterized by a long-scale decreasing rear density profile lead to beams with low energy spread [F. Fiúza et al., Physical Review Letters 109, 215001 (2012)]. In this work, a detailed parameter scan investigating different plasma scale lengths is carried out. As result, the optimal plasma spatial scale length that allows for minimizing the energy spread while ensuring a significant reflection of ions by the shock is identified. Furthermore, a new configuration where the required profile has been obtained by coupling micro layers of different densities is proposed. Results show that this new engineered approach is a valid alternative, guaranteeing a low energy spread with a higher level of controllability.
