Study of Ion Generation by a ps-laser for External Injection into Electron Beam Ion Source

We investigated ion generation from Al, Ti, Cu, Nb and Ta target elements by a picosecond-laser in the range of 10 11 – 10 13 W/cm 2 power densities at the target surface. A ps-laser with 1.27 mJ maximum energy within a 8 ps pulse and repetition rate up to 400 Hz has been used to generate a laser-ablated plasma. Dependencies of ion current vs time, total charge of registered ions as well as ion kinetic energy distributions are characterized using a Faraday cup. Significant difference in ion current dynamics between first, second and following shots onto the same target spot was found for all five target elements. The total charge of ions registered by the Faraday cup increase linearly with increasing laser pulse energy and are almost independent on the target element and number of shots onto the same target spot for all five target elements studied. Target craters have been examined using a commercially available microscope (Nikon Eclipse LV150) and crater cross section areas were found to be in the range of 0.0076 – 0.0172 mm 2 within the first five shots onto the same target spot for different target elements. A linear dependence of crater cross section square on laser pulse energy has been observed for the Ta target. Ion energy distributions for all target elements have a plateau or a slight peak in the energy range of 10 - 100 eV and long low-intensity energy tail up to tens of keV.
