Helical coil design with controlled dispersion for bunching enhancement of the TNSA protons

Résumé

The quality of the proton beam produced by Target Normal Sheath Acceleration (TNSA) with high power lasers can be significantly improved with the use of helical coils. While they showed promising results in terms of focusing, their performances in terms of the of cutoff energy and bunching stay limited due to the dispersive nature of helical coils. A new scheme of helical coil with a tube surrounding the helix is introduced, and the first numerical simulations and an analytical model show a possibility of a drastic reduction of the current pulse dispersion for the parameters of high power laser facilities. The helical coils with tube strongly increase bunching, creating two collimated narrow-band proton beams from a broad and divergent TNSA distribution. The analytical model provides scaling of proton parameters as a function of laser facility features.
