Warm Dense Matter (WDM) is an challenging problem because WDM, which is beyond ideal plasma, is low temperature and high density state with partially degenerate electrons and coupled ions. WDM is a common state of matter in astrophysical objects such as cores of giant planets and white dwarfs. The WDM studies require large energy deposition into a small target volume in a shorter time than the hydrodynamical time and need uniformity across the full thickness of the target. Since moderate energy ion beams (~ 0.3 MeV/amu) can be useful tool for WDM physics*, we propose WDM generation using Direct Plasma Injection Scheme (DPIS). In the DPIS, laser ion source is connected to the Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) linac directly without the beam transport line. The discussions of DPIS for WDM are presented.

The Electron Beam Ion Source (EBIS) project at Brookhaven National Laboratory is a new heavy ion pre-injector for Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and NASA Space Radiation Laboratory science programs. An important requirement for EBIS is an ion source capable of efficiently providing a variety of heavy ion species to many users within short period of time. In that respect, Laser Ion Source (LIS), which can supply many heavy ion species from solid targets, is a good candidate for RHIC-EBIS, however, LIS has an issue to be resolved. This is the requirement of limited current in low energy beam transport. LIS in the condition that laser power density is low, is expected to provide limited current with long pulse length. The discussions of the experimental results are presented.

The Laser Ion Source is an efficient method for generating heavy ions for acceleration. The output produces high current and high charge-state beams from almost any type of elemental species. Using the Laser Ion Source apparatus, we consider improving the efficiency of this method by heating the target prior to laser irradiation. Prior deposition of any thermal energy into the target could add with the energy being delivered by the pulsed laser to produce higher current beams. These beams could be composed of higher charge-state ions and/or an increased net number of ions. We investigate by using a retrofitted heater to heat the target to a variety of high temperatures and subsequently analyze the produced beam.

A laser ion source can provide high-current highly-charged ions with a simple structure. Previously we have demonstrated acceleration of >60 mA carbon and aluminum ion beams using a direct plasma injection scheme. However, it was not easy to control the ion pulse width. Especially to provide longer ion pulse, a plasma drift length which is the distance between laser target and extraction point, has to be extended and the plasma is diluted severely. We apply a solenoid field to prevent reduction of ion density at the extraction point. A solenoid field of a few hundred Gauss enhanced the ion density up to 40 times. We present these results, including details of the solenoidal field effects on the expanding laser plasma.

In a laser ion source, a high power pulsed laser shot focused on a solid state target produces laser ablation plasma. This plasma has initial velocity towards the normal direction of the target and simultaneously expands three dimensionally. Since charge state distribution, velocity distribution and plasma temperature strongly depends on laser power density, power density is one of the important parameter to the angular distribution of plasma. Angular distribution of expanding plasma was measured by changing laser power density. Details of the experiment will be shown in the paper.
