Ion Beam Modification and Transport
As the ions are accelerated within a few micrometer distances to MeV energies, we also aim to miniaturize the systems for refocusing and transporting the bunches. One very promising way we see in permanent magnet quadrupoles which also find application for laser accelerated electron bunches and their subsequent use in table-top undulators (F. Grüner). At the same time new, possibly plasma-based approaches, and well-established conventional solutions are evaluated in the context of laser driven ion bunches.
