脉冲宽度对准单能质子能量的影响
Impact of laser duration on quasimonoenergetic proton energy

摘要: 使用1维粒子模拟程序LPIC++模拟了不同脉冲宽度的P极化超短强激光脉冲与稠密冷等离子体靶的相互作用。模拟结果表明:激光有质动力首先推动表层等离子体形成无碰撞激波,然后激波向靶内传播,俘获靶内的质子并将其反射加速,反射质子的速度约为离子声速的2倍。当使脉冲宽度与靶厚互相匹配时,也就是靶厚等于离子声速与激光脉冲宽度的乘积时,可以得到能散为30%左右的单能束。与激光脉冲宽度与靶厚不匹配相比,准单能质子束的能量得到有效提高,提高幅度达60%。同时,为弄清2维效应的影响,还使用2维粒子模拟程序OOPIC进行了模拟,与1维所获得结果基本一致。Abstract: The parameters of laser have impact on the process of producing quasimonoenergetic proton beams which use a high power laser interacting with plasmas. The duration of the laser is an important parameter of them. A one dimension particle-in cell code LPIC++ is used to simulate the P-polarized laser interacting with the cold dense target. In the simulation, the ponderomotive force pushing the plasma layer and launching a shock wave are observed. The moving shock wave in the target traps ions and reflect them to as much as two times of the ion-acoustic velocity. It is also observed that if suitable laser duration is utilized, just as the duration matches the thickness of the target, the energy spread of the proton’s beam is about 30%. The quasimonoenergetic protons beam’s energy also can be
