| Abstract: | During the laser foil interaction,the output ion beam quality including the energy spread and beam divergence can be improved by the target ablation,due to the direct laser acceleration(DLA) electrons generated in the ablation plasma.The acceleration field established at the target rear by these electrons,which is highly directional and triangle-envelope,is helpful for the beam quality.With the help of the target ablation,both the beam divergence and energy spread will be reduced.If the ablation is more sufficient,the impact of DLA-electron-caused field will be strengthened,and the beam quality will be better,confirmed by the particle-in-cell simulation. |
