Abstract:
At present, there are number of works devoted to
the study of laser-produced plasma as a source of
ions for ICF together with heavy ion accelerators
and the systems on the base of powerful impulse of
electrical charge, i.e. Z-pinches. Laser ion source
(LIS) has been recently designed to load the Heidelberg
electron beam ion trap with a pulsed beam
of charged ions from solid elements. Due to many
characteristics of laser-produced plasmas, LIS takes
advantages over e.g. a common metal vapor vacuum
arc method as a source of ions...
