Objective
The Laser Ion Source project at CERN was started in order to investigate whether an intense source of heavy multi-charge-state ions can be produced by a laser, so that the resulting beam could be directly injected into the accelerators for LHC (Large Hadron Collider) ion operation. This would be an alternative to obtaining the required LHC intensity by stacking heavy ions from a conventional source. The benefit of using Laser Ion Source will be higher filling rate of the LHC accelerator.
The general goal of the project is to apply X-ray diagnostics of the near-surface region for determination of charge state of laser produced plasma in combination with traditional electrostatic analyser diagnostics at large distances from the target. The correct measurements of the charge state distribution is of value for the laser ion source for ion accelerators design and construction. This is very important to determine the charge state loss during plasma expansion which might arise due to different types of recombination.
Another open question at present is the right choice of the laser wavelength for the most efficient ion production. For the Laser Ion Source design efficiency means generation of the large enough number of ions in the charge state required by further accelerating unit and ion transmission lines. Another important parameter of ion beam from the ion source is ion current stability. Therefore is it important to obtain as much comparative information as possible about ion generation by different types of lasers such as CO2 lasers and excimer lasers.
