Laser ion source based on a 100 J/1 Hz CO2-laser system

The laser system is a key element of the laser ion source (LIS), significantly influencing source stability and reliability. A 100 J/1 Hz master oscillator-power amplifier CO2-laser system has been designed, built, and tested for a Pb25+ LIS, with the aim of producing the ion beam parameters compatible with an injection chain for the large hadron collider. The results obtained during commissioning of the laser at ITEP and CERN are presented. LIS parameters based on 100 J/1 Hz CO2-laser system and the use of such a source for the ITEP–TWAC project are discussed.
