Two-ion crystals constitute a platform for investigations of quantum nature that can be extended to any ion species or charged particle provided one the ions in crystal directly laser-cooled and manipulated with laser radiation. This paper presents formation two-ion metrology 7-tesla open-ring Penning trap. $^{40}$Ca$^+$ are produced either internally by photoionization externally (Paul-trap) s...

aerosol formation due to ions in the atmosphere is not well understood, although it seems to play an important role in cloud formation. the ions in the atmosphere can enhance cloud formation and can increase nucleation as well as impeding the evaporation from the surfaces of the droplets. recently there has been some experimental work to find the relation between ions concentrations and cloud i...

The interaction of an ultrashort intense laser pulse with thin foil targets is accompanied by the acceleration of ions from the target surface. To make this ion source suitable for application, it is of particular importance to increase the efficiency of laser energy transformation into accelerated ions and the maximum ion energy. This can be achieved by using a thin foil target with a microsco...

Within the framework of this thesis the ion acceleration from foils irradiated by high-intensity laser pulses was studied. The application of such laser accelerated ion beams could reach from compact fast-ion injectors for conventional particle accelerators over fast ignition for inertial confinement fusion to oncology and radiotherapy with ion beams. Proton imaging of laser produced plasmas is...

Laser-ion acceleration has been of particular interest over the last decade for fundamental as well as applied sciences. Remarkable progress has been made in realizing laser-driven accelerators that are cheap and very compact compared with conventional rf-accelerators. Proton and ion beams have been produced with particle energies of up to 50MeV and several MeV/u, respectively, with outstanding...

The propagation of a superintense laser pulse in an underdense, inhomogeneous plasma has been studied numerically by two-dimensional particle-incell simulations on a time scale extending up to several picoseconds. The effects of the ion dynamics following the charge-displacement self-channeling of the laser pulse have been addressed. Radial ion acceleration leads to the “breaking” of the plasma...

This work is devoted to characterizing the plasma produced by nanosecond laser ablation. The expanding plasma was generated by the interaction of a home made XeCl excimer laser with a Cu target. The time-of-flight method was utilized as diagnostic tool of the plasma charged particles. By this method, in fact, we were able to measure the ion and electron currents, the charge-states and the energ...

We investigated ion acceleration by an electrostatic shock in an exploded target irradiated by an ultrashort, circularly polarized laser pulse by means of one- and three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations. We discovered that the laser field penetrating via relativistic transparency (RT) rapidly heated the upstream electron plasma to enable the formation of a high-speed electrostatic shock...
