Abstract:The possibility of using plasma of the laser-induced vacuum discharge as a source of multiplecharged ions is considered. To this end, a sequence of measurements of the ion emission from discharge plasma was made. The laser radiation was focused on the anode surface in the focal spot with diameter D≤250 µm and with intensity on the target q≈5 ×10 9 W/cm 2 . The laser energy El = 50 ÷ 60 mJ. The choice of given geometry in this experiment has allowed us to successfully detect the ions emitted at a small angle (… Show more
