An Overview of Researches on Laser Ion Acceleration Using Mixed Solid Target and Single Ion Target

The essay gives an overview on researches in the field of laser ion acceleration, focusing on two types of targets. There are many types of targets while they can all be divided into targets that apply single ion or multiple ions. Mixed solid targets are proven efficient in accelerating heavy ions and generate high-quality ion beams with energy divergence lower than 5%. Traditional methods like TNSA are mainly used to accelerate protons or heavy ions and there are still many spaces for modification and improvement. Applications of laser-driven ion beams are wide in fields like detector technology, cancer therapy and so on, which is promising and necessary.
