Description

Laser ion source (LIS) is one of the promising candidates for the front end of heavy ion inertial fusion power plant. A LIS can provide low emittance high current heavy ion beams. Based on the performance of an existing LIS, the feasibilities of the ion source of heavy ion inertial fusion plant are investigated assuming both induction accelerator scheme and radio frequency (RF) accelerator scheme. By combining recently developed techniques, we can design LIS both for the induction and RF accelerator schemes
