Characteristics of Transported Ion Beam in Laser-Initiated Plasma Channels

摘要

The propagation of intense ion beams through the laser-initiated plasma channel is reported. The ion beam was generated using a pinch-reflex ion diode on Reiden IV generator and transported over 40 cm in the plasma channel. Beam orbits, estimated from the pattern on the detector-film with energy resolution, were in good agreement with a predicted theory. (Atomindex citation 14:756879)
