A laser ion source can supply a high current and/or highly charged ion beam from a solid target irradiated by a laser.Since a short-pulse (~10 ns) laser is used for an ion source,a pulse plasma expands toward the direction perpendicular to the laser target surface.An ion source for accelerators is required to provide a reproducible waveform with an ion flux and a certain pulse length appropriate to the application for practical use.
