Description
LaPRIS (Laser Plasma RF Ion Source) is a novel ion source that generates plasma by irradiating pulsed gas with an ultrashort laser pulse. The resulting ions are extracted using a radio-frequency (RF) electric field. Due to the spatiotemporal localization of the laser, ion production occurs only within a brief moment, which may enable high bunching efficiency and low emittance. In this presentation, we introduce the basic principle and structure of LaPRIS, summarize related prior studies, and present simulation results of the extracted ion beam. We also report on the current status of our experimental setup, including the gas delivery system and laser configuration.
