Abstract

Abstract The target backsheath field acceleration mechanism is one of the main mechanisms of laser-driven proton acceleration (LDPA) and strongly depends on the comprehensive performance of the ultrashort ultra-intense lasers used as the driving sources. The successful use of the SG-II Peta-watt (SG-II PW) laser facility for LDPA and its applications in radiographic diagnoses have been manifested by the good performance of the SG-II PW facility. Recently, the SG-II PW laser facility has undergone extensive maintenance and a comprehensive technical upgrade in terms of the seed source, laser contrast and terminal focus. LDPA experiments were performed using the maintained SG-II PW laser beam, and the highest cutoff energy of the proton beam was obviously increased. Accordingly, a double-film target structure was used, and the maximum cutoff energy of the proton beam was up to 70 MeV. These results demonstrate that the comprehensive performance of the SG-II PW laser facility was improved significantly.

基于优化的SG-II Peta-watt激光设备的能量高达70 MeV的加速质子

目标后鞘场加速机制是激光驱动质子加速(LDPA)的主要机制之一，它在很大程度上取决于作为驱动源的超短超强激光的综合性能。SG-II Peta-watt (SG-II PW)激光设备在LDPA诊断中的成功应用及其在放射诊断中的应用已经通过SG-II PW设备的良好性能得到了体现。最近，SG-II PW激光设备在种子源、激光对比和终端聚焦方面进行了广泛的维护和全面的技术升级。利用SG-II型PW激光束进行了LDPA实验，发现质子束的最高截止能量明显提高。因此，采用双膜靶结构，质子束的最大截止能量可达70 MeV。结果表明，SG-II型PW激光设备的综合性能得到了显著提高。
