Design and Implementation of an Energy Selector for Laser-Accelerated Protons
Highly intense bunches of protons and ions with energies of several MeV/u can be generated with ultra-short laser pulses focused on solid targets. In the most common interaction regime, target normal sheath acceleration, the spectra of these particles are spread over a wide range following a Maxwell...

| description |
Highly intense bunches of protons and ions with energies of several MeV/u can be generated with ultra-short laser pulses focused on solid targets. In the most common interaction regime, target normal sheath acceleration, the spectra of these particles are spread over a wide range following a Maxwellian distribution. We report on the design and testing of a magnetic chicane for the selection of protons within a limited energy window. This consisted of two successive, anti-parallel dipole fields generated by cost-effective permanent C-magnets with customized configuration and longitudinal positions. The chicane was implemented into the target vessel of a petawatt laser facility with constraints on the direction of the incoming laser beam and guidance of the outgoing particles through a vacuum port. The separation of protons and carbon ions within distinct energy intervals was demonstrated and compared to a ray tracing code. Measurements with radiochromic film stacks indicated the selection of protons within [2.4, 6.9] MeV, [5.0, 8.4] MeV, or ≥6.9 MeV depending on the lateral dispersion. A narrow peak at 4.8 MeV was observed with a time-of-flight detector. |

Additional support by Generalitat Valenciana in the Garantía Juvenil program, ref. EDGJID/2021/204. The authors would like to thank the Spanish Center of Pulsed Lasers (CLPU) and the members of the Consortium (Central Government, Regional Government of Castilla y León and Universidad de Salamanca) for considering experiment 00562-0101 as a strategic proposal that develops new potentialities for CLPU and, therefore, for financing the access to its facilities; they also acknowledge the results obtained with its petawatt laser system (VEGA-3) and its scientific and technical assistance.
