Abstract
We investigated the interaction of a laser ablation plasma with a longitudinal magnetic field aiming to create a directionally moving plasma for high-flux and low-emittance ion injectors. To study the plasma dynamics, time-of-flight measurements and energy analysis of the plasma ion flux were made as functions of the laser intensity and the magnetic field. Moderate magnetic field (∼0.2T) directed the fast and highly charged ions in the target normal. In addition, a slow peak appeared and increased with increasing the magnetic field. These results indicated that directional electric field is formed and recombination increases by the application of longitudinal magnetic field.
