Phys. 67 (2017) Vol. 67, No. 3, March 1, 2017 Proton Beam Generated by Multi-Lasers Interaction with Rear-Holed Target Peng Yang ( 杨鹏 ), Da-Peng Fan ( 范大鹏 ), and Yu-Xiao Li ( 李玉晓 ) School of Physics and Engineering, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou , China (Received July 11, 2016; revised manuscript received December 26, 2016) Abstract Multi-lasers are proposed to enhance the proton acceleration in laser plasma interaction. A rear-holed target is illuminated by three lasers from different directions. The scheme is demonstrated by two-dimensional particlein-cell simulations. The electron cloud shape is controlled well and the electron density is improved significantly. The electrons accelerated by the three lasers induce an enhanced target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA) which suppresses the proton beam divergence and improves the maximum proton energy. The maximum proton energy is 22.9 MeV, which increased significantly than that of a single-laser target interaction. Meanwhile, the average divergence angle (22.3 ) is reduced. The dependence of the proton beam on the length of sidewall is investigated in detail and the optimal length is obtained.

In recent experiments, high energy protons have been observed by the development of the ultra-short, ultra-intense laser technology. [4 5] But the system is very complex and the volume is very huge, which limit its application. Furthermore, with the development of the micro-nano fabrication technology, it is possible to improve proton beam quality by designing special target geometries. [6 7] To absorb more laser energy, various targets with tailored front surfaces have been designed, such as rippling front surface, [8] concave front surface, [9 10] nano-brush target, [11] and nanostriped target. [12] To suppress the proton beam divergence, various targets with tailored rear surfaces have been proposed, such as holed rear surface, [13 14] umbrella-like rear surface, [15] and funnel-shaped rear surface. [16] During the past decades, some mechanisms for the generation of laser-driven proton beam have been proposed. For example, the target normal sheath acceleration (TNSA), [17] radiation pressure acceleration (RPA), [18] shock wave acceleration (SWA), [19] and so on. Among them, the TNSA is widely used, which is easier to be realizable experimentally. In this mechanism, a thin foil target is ionized after illuminating by a laser pre-pulse, and the plasma electrons are pushed forward by the ponderomotive force of the main-pulse, forming a hot electron cloud at the rear surface of target. This electric charge separation generates a strong electric field (the order of the sheath field is V m 1 ) which accelerates the Corresponding author, liyuxiao@zzu.edu.cn c 2017 Chinese Physical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd protons. [20] The sheath field has been found to scaled as E (n h T h ) 1/2, where n h is the hot electron number density and T h is the hot electron temperature. Therefore, to enhance the sheath field, one can use ultra-intense lasers or longer duration laser pulses to increase the electron density at the rear of target. However, the lateral diffusion of electron cloud decreases the electron density and leads to the divergence of proton beam in transverse. Sonobe et al. concluded that the proton beam divergence can be suppressed when the target has a hole in rear. [21 22] The hole reshapes the electron cloud but reduces the electron density. Toncian et al. achieved simultaneous focusing and energy selection of laser-driven proton beams by using a hollow microcylinder which illuminated by an additional laser pulse. [23] However, the maximum proton energy was not improved. In this work, we propose a scheme to increase the electron cloud density by using a rear-holed target, which irradiated by multi-lasers from three different directions. The maximum energy of proton beam is increased significantly, and the divergence is suppressed. The paper is organized as follows. Targets and simulation parameters are described in Sec. 2, results and discussion are presented in Secs. 3 and 4, and conclusion is given in Sec Targets and Simulation Parameters In the scheme we proposed, three lasers (I 1, I 2 and I 3 ) are used to illuminate a rear-holed target at the same time. The linearly polarized laser pulse I 1 of x direction incident normally onto the target front surface at t = 0 fs. At the same time, I 2 and I 3 (y direction linearly polarized) irradiate normally onto the sidewall of hole, as shown in Fig. 1. The laser peak intensities are I 1 = W/cm 2, I 2 = I 3 = W/cm 2, respectively. All lasers have a Gaussian envelope, and the laser FWHM is 20 fs.
2 No. 3 Communications in Theoretical Physics 323 The laser focal spot diameter (FWHM) are D 1 = 3λ, and D 2 = D 3 = h, here λ = 1 µm is the laser wavelength and h = h 1 µm is the length of the sidewall. The width of the Aluminum target front layer is 5 µm; the thickness of the front layer and the sidewall are both 1 µm. The Hydrogen layer of 30 nm thickness covers the bottom of the hole, and the width is 3 µm, which is the same with the diameter of the cylinder hole. Fig. 1 (Color online) Location of the target in the simulation box. The calculation area is 20 µm 25 µm. Three lasers (I 1, I 2, and I 3 ) are used to illuminate a rear-holed target at the same time. The H layer locates at the bottom of the hole. Based on particle-in-cell (PIC) concept, [24 25] we developed a 2-dimensional PIC code ZZUPIC2D [26] to demonstrate the scheme. The simulation area is 20 µm 25 µm and free boundary conditions are used. The calculation mesh size is x = y = 0.02λ and the integration time step is t = T, here T is the laser period. The ionization degree of the Al layer is 10, the density of ionized Al ions is 20n c, and the electron density is 200n c, here n c = m e ω0/4πe 2 2 stands for the critical density. The plasma density of the H layer is n p = n e = n c. The initial electrons and ions temperature are set as 5.0 kev and 1.0 kev, respectively. The simulated particles mass ratios are m p /m e = 1836 and m Al /m p = 27. The numbers of aluminum, hydrogen, and electrons micro-particles per cell are 24, 22, and 52, respectively. 3 Effect of Multi-lasers on Electron Sheath and Proton Beam A single laser target interaction (Case 1) which has only one laser (I 1 ) to illuminate the target front surface is simulated as a comparison with the multi-lasers target interaction (Case 2), and the same targets of h = 5 µm are used in the two cases. Figure 2 shows the distributions of the longitudinal electrostatic field E y generated by the hot electron cloud at t = 150 fs. Panels a-b correspond to Cases 1 2, respectively. The positive E y accelerates protons in the +y direction. The maximum of E y is in the center of the field, meaning that protons which locate in the center of the hole will be accelerated to the highest energy. Figure 3 demonstrates the number density distributions of hot electrons along the axis of hole (x = 0 µm) for Cases 1 2 at 150 fs. The definition of c is the number of electrons in a cell around a certain position. In Case 1, the electrons from the front layer are attracted by the positively charged sidewall, the edge of the electron cloud expands slightly in transverse and the hot electrons move into the sidewall gradually. The hot electrons, which moved into the sidewall, have no contribution to the proton acceleration. Therefore, the electron density decreases and the accelerating field is reduced. In Case 2, the hot electrons of sidewall are pushed into the hole and converge with those from the front layer, and the electron cloud density is increased. The maximum of E y field is 6.9 MV/µm in Case 2 and 3.8 MV/µm in Case 1, which shows significantly improvement of the accelerating field by using additional laser beams I 2 and I 3. Fig. 2 (Color online) The contour maps of longitudinal accelerating electric field generated by electron sheath in the single laser target interaction (a) and the multi-lasers target interaction (b) at 150 fs. The maximum of E y is in the center of the field, meaning that protons, which locate in the center of the hole will be accelerated to the highest energy.
3 324 Communications in Theoretical Physics Vol. 67 Fig. 3 (Color online) Distributions of electron number density along the axis of hole (x = 0 µm) for Cases 1 2. The electron density is significantly enhanced at y = 1 + h/2 in Case 2, which indicates that an electron cloud of greater density is formed. The suppression of proton beam divergence in a rearholed target is due to the transverse electric field induced by the positively charged sidewall of hole, which does not exist in a plain target. Figure 4 shows the distributions of E x field generated by the sidewall at t = 150 fs. Panels a-b correspond to Cases 1 2, respectively. The sign of E x indicates the direction of the field along the x axis. When protons propagate toward the sidewall, their transverse velocity is reduced and eventually eliminated by the E x field. The E x field in Case 2 is greater and wider than Case 1, indicating a better focusing effect on the protons. The proton energy spectra are given in Fig. 5. The number of energetic protons from Case 2 is significantly more than that from Case 1 and the spectrum has a higher cutoff. The maximum proton energies of Case 1 and 2 are 14.3 MeV and 20.8 MeV, respectively. In Case 2, the widely distributed E x field has a remarkable effect on restricting protons, and a higher population of protons are confined transversely in the center of the hole, where the maximum of the accelerating field locates (Fig. 2); these protons can be accelerated to higher energies than those locate at the edge of the sheath field. Consequently, higher populations of higher energy protons are produced in Case 2. However, the E x field in Case 1 is narrower and smaller than Case 2, which restricts less protons in the center of the accelerating field. Furthermore, in Case 1, the electric sheath has a smaller E y field due to the sparse electron cloud. Therefore, much fewer energetic protons are produced in Case 1. Fig. 4 (Color online) The contour maps of transverse electric field generated by the sidewall of hole in two cases at 150 fs. (a) In the single laser target interaction, the E x field distribution is very narrow; (b) In the multi-lasers target interaction, the E x field is greater and wider than Case 1, indicating a better focusing effect on the protons. In Toncian s research (Ref. [23]), the beam tailoring stage is decoupled from the acceleration stage, which results in a portion of the electrons failing to enter the cylinder, and can not converge with the electrons generated by the sidewall. The thickness of the cylinder sidewall is twice of the front layer, therefore the electric field is triggered by the CPA 2 laser pulse 20 ps after the maximum protons (9 MeV) exit the cylinder. These explain why there is no increase in the maximum energy of protons in Toncian s research. In the scheme we proposed, the cylinder is integrated with the front layer, and they have the same thickness, which ensure most of the hot electrons generated by the front layer can enter the cylinder (a part of electrons enter the hole directly, and the other part enters the side wall and then accelerates back to the hole by the transverse lasers), contribute to the increase of the electron number density and the peak proton energy. The average divergence angles of the proton beams from two cases are calculated. The angle is defined by the following formula N i=1 θ div = (θ i) 2, N
4 No. 3 Communications in Theoretical Physics 325 here N is the total number of protons; θ i = arctan(v x /V y ) is the divergence angle of one proton particle, where V x and V y are the proton transverse and longitudinal velocity, respectively. The average divergence angles of Case 1 and 2 are 27.3 and 22.5, respectively. It demonstrates that the transverse electric field E x induced by laser I 2 and I 3 has a remarkable effect on the suppression of proton beam divergence. Fig. 5 (Color online) Energy spectra for the accelerated protons in two cases. The number of energetic protons from Case 2 is significantly more than that from Case 1 and the spectrum has a higher cutoff; for more protons are confined in the center of the hole, where protons can be accelerated to higher energies. 4 Dependence of Proton Beam on the Length of Sidewall To investigate the dependence of proton beam on the length of sidewall, the interaction of multi-lasers with targets ranging in sidewall length ( h) from 1 µm to 10 µm are simulated, respectively. Figure 6(a) shows the maximum E x and E y of different targets, and Fig. 6(b) demonstrates the characteristics (energy and divergence) of the accelerated proton beams. Since the laser focal spot diameter of I 2 and I 3 is the same with h, the E x field decreases with increasing sidewall length. However, the divergence is optimized (22.3 ) at h = 4 µm, because the shape of the electron cloud need to be controlled by a hole of sufficiently depth. The trend of the proton energy is the same as the E y field, optimized both at h = 3 µm, and peaking at 23.7 MeV and 8.3 MV/µm, respectively. On the one hand, the hot electrons from the front layer of the target are mainly distributed between 1.5 µm and 5 µm in the longitudinal direction (Fig. 3). On the other hand, the density of the side electrons peaking at the midpoint (y = 1 + h/2) of the sidewall. The convergence of the hot electrons is optimized when h = 3 µm, and the E y field is maximized. Fig. 6 (Color online) (a) The maximum of E x and E y field from targets with different sidewall length. (b) The characteristics (energy and divergence) of the accelerated proton beams from different targets. The laser-proton energy conversion efficiency is also investigated (Fig. 7). The conversion efficiency is defined by f = E protons /(E I1 + E I2 + E I3 ), which peaking at 3.9% when h = 4 µm (Case 4). Although the E y field is the greatest when h = 3 µm (Case 3), the accelerating distance and time which protons experiencing in Case 4 are relatively longer than that in Case 3 (due to the longer sidewall and E x field in Case 4), and the difference of the E y fields between Case 3 and 4 is small ((8.3 and 7.9) MV/µm, respectively). As a result, the protons in Case 4 absorb more energy from lasers than Case 3. Consequently, for the parameters we use in the multi-lasers target interaction, the optimal length of sidewall is 4 µm. The proton beam generated in the optimal target has the smallest average divergence angle (22.3 ), and the highest laser-proton energy conversion efficiency (3.9%); the maximum proton energy is 22.9 MeV. We also calculate the energy conversion efficiency of proton production in the case of one pulse (laser I 1 ). The energy conversion efficiency E proton /E I1 = 4.1%, which is higher than that in the case of three pulse E proton /(E I1 + E I2 + E I3 ) = 3.9%. However, in the case of three pulse E proton /E I1 = 4.7%, which means that the pulse I 2 and I 3 help transferring more energy of I 1 to protons. To investigate the dependence of proton beam on the width of the front layer, targets of front layer width from 5 µm to 10 µm are simulated. Figure 8 demonstrates the average divergence angle and the maximum energy of protons from different targets. The results show that the divergence angle increases and the maximum energy
5 326 Communications in Theoretical Physics Vol. 67 decreases with the width increasing. This is due to the increased width of the front layer that allows more hot electrons to propagate out of the cylinder. The electrons diverging outside of the cylinder take away a portion of the laser energy and are not used to accelerate protons. Fig. 7 The laser-proton energy conversion efficiency of targets with different sidewall length. The peak of the efficiency is at h = 4 µm, indicating that the optimal length of sidewall is 4 µm. 5 Conclusion In summary, the interaction of multi-lasers and the rear-holed target is investigated by 2D PIC simulations. On the one hand, the E x field generated by the target sidewall is enhanced by the lasers irradiate from the side, and protons are focused transversely in the center of hole, where the maximum of the longitudinal sheath field locates. On the other hand, the hot electrons from the sidewall converge with those from the target front layer, and the density of the electron cloud is increased, promoting the accelerating field and the maximum energy of the obtained proton beams. Consequently, higher populations of Fig. 8 The average divergence angle and the maximum energy of protons from targets with different front layer width. As the increased width of the front layer allows more hot electrons to propagate out of the cylinder, the divergence angle increases, and the maximum energy decreases. higher energy protons are produced. The dependence of proton beam energy and divergence on the length of the sidewall is investigated in detail, and the optimal length of the sidewall is 4 µm for the parameters we used in the simulations. The intensity of side laser is one order of magnitude smaller than the front laser, which is feasible in the experiment. The study demonstrated that the laser design is as important as the target design in laserdriven ion accelerator and the multi-lasers serves as a new method to enhance the proton acceleration in laser plasma interaction.
