Efficient Guiding of Laser-Driven Proton Beam with Azimuthal Magnetic Fields Induced by Relativistic Discharge Pulse in Micro-Wire
摘要
Control of laser-driven ion beams and, in particular, their divergence is an important problem actively studied by numerous research groups. This work considers a collimation system based on the use of a laser driven micro-wire target. Using Particle-In-Cell modeling, we demonstrate that kilotesla-level quasistationary azimuthal magnetic fields excited around the wire in the process of its irradiation by a relativistic laser pulse with
