Research activities in Japan relevant to particle beam inertial fusion are briefly reviewed.
These activities can be ascended to the 1980s. During the past three decades, significant …

This work considers a solenoid-based magnetic collimation system for improving the
efficiency of ion trap loading with ions created by laser ablation. We discuss a physical …

Laser ion source (LIS) is one of the promising candidates for the front end of heavy ion
inertial fusion power plant. A LIS can provide low emittance high current heavy ion beams …

An ion source for accelerators requires to provide a stable waveform with a certain pulse
length appropriate to the application. The pulse length of laser ion source is easy to control …

A Laser ion source (LIS) provides high current heavy ion beams with a very simple
mechanical structure. Plasma is produced by a pulsed laser ablation of a solid state target …

Brookhaven National Laboratory has developed the new preinjector system, electron beam
ion source (EBIS) for relativistic heavy ion collider (RHIC) and National Aeronautics and …

In the laser ion source (LIS) at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), a solenoid is
used to guide the laser ablation plasma and modulate the extracted beam current. Many …

We developed a two-beam interdigital-H-type radio frequency quadrupole (IH-RFQ) linac as
a prototype of a multibeam IH-RFQ for high intensity heavy ion acceleration in the low …

Heavy-ion inertial fusion (HIF) requires high current beams of the order of 100 kA on a fuel
target for nuclear fusion. However, the Child-Langmuir law limits the beam current, and an …

We propose a plasma guiding method using multicusp magnetic field to transport the
ablation plasma keeping the density for developing laser ion sources. To investigate the …
