TITLE: Laser Based Various Ion Producions
LANGUAGE: Japanese
ABSTRACT: Since the first idea of an ion source using laser ablation plasma arose, almost forty years has already passed. It was found that the laser plasma could provide ultra intense beam with high charge state easily. In spite of this advantage, the laser ion source (LIS) has not been accepted by a major stream of the accelerator field. Once the laser plasma produced, it is hard to control the pulse structure. However, accumulated research results by many groups capable us to provide high quality various ions from LIS now. Due to its simple structure, the LIS suits not only for a large accelerator complexes but also for small facilities. The history of the LIS and a project for LHC at CERN will be briefly introduced. Also a planned LIS project in RHIC will be mentioned. Then recent activities about direct plasma injection scheme (DPIS) will be explained. lastly, other works related to LIS will be summarized.
