研究目的
Investigating the generation of a high-repetition rate laser-driven proton source from a continuously operating cryogenic hydrogen cluster target.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated a highly robust proton source capable of operating at high repetition rates, with proton energies tunable by adjusting laser and cluster parameters. The Coulomb explosion mechanism was confirmed as the primary acceleration process, supported by PIC simulations. Future modifications to the target could enable higher proton energies, expanding the potential applications of this proton source.
研究不足
The study is limited by the maximum cluster size achievable with the current target setup, which affects the maximum proton energy that can be obtained. Additionally, the laser system's repetition rate and energy fluctuations could influence the stability of the proton source.
