2 Motivation Optimal use of laser accelerated ions requires beam forming, energy selection and debunching Z6 Target Area PHELIX Leading expertise in both fields (laser acceleration, accelerator technology) available at GSI, surrounding universities, and HI Z6 target area provides access to the PHELIX laser beam and to accelerator hardware (e.g. test beam, RF equipment, diagnostics) We can provide a versatile testbed to study laser-accelerated particles in combination with conventional accelerator structures

3 LIGHT: Laser Ion Generation, Handling and Transport
Step 1: Generation and Characterization of the proton beam Target optimization for high conversion efficiency (laser to ion) and low ion beam divergence angle Ion energy spectrum shaping Step 2: Collimation of the proton beam Separation of the electrons Selection of the proton energy interval Proton beam divergence control Space charge Step 3: Setting up of a buncher unit based on existing 108 MHz technology at GSI Compression of chosen energy interval Diagnostic of the compressed proton bunch Goal: proton bunch with 1010 protons in few ns with an energy of E = 10 MeV and DE = 4% | GSI | LIGHT | Abel Blazevic
