Abstract
Since March 2014, a laser ion source
(LIS) has been used to provide high brightness
low charge state heavy ion beams for regular
routine operation of the hadron accelerator
complex in Brookhaven National Laboratory
(BNL)[1]. The peak current and pulse width of
the typical beams from the LIS are several hundreds
of microampere and about 200 microseconds,
respectively. Of course, these specifications
cannot be directly applied to the HIF.
However, only by reducing the plasma drift distance
to one tenth, the beam current and pulse
width will become 1000 times and 1/10 respectively
and these values are not far from the
HIF’s requirements. Therefore, it would be useful
to discuss some operational difficulties and
to investigate what should be improved in the
existing LIS in BNL toward the HIF application...
