In this article, we report on the latest investigations and achievements in proton beam shaping with our laser-driven ion beamline at GSI Helmholtzzentrum f\"ur Schwerionenforschung GmbH. This was realized within framework of Laser Ion Generation, Handling, Transport (LIGHT) collaboration to study combination beams conventional accelerator components. At its current state, ions are accelerated by high-power laser PHELIX via target normal sheath acceleration, two pulsed high-magnetic...
The main emphasis of the Laser Ion Generation, Handling and Transport (LIGHT) beamline at GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH are phase-space manipulations laser-generated ion beams. In recent years, LIGHT collaboration has successfully generated focused intense proton bunches with an energy 8 MeV a temporal duration shorter than 1 ns (FWHM). An interesting area application that exploits short bunch properties is study ion-stopping power in plasmas, key process inertial...
We present numerical simulations used to interpret laser-driven plasma experiments at the GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research. The mechanisms by which non-thermal particles are accelerated in astrophysical environments, e.g., solar wind, supernova remnants, and gamma ray bursts, is a topic of intense study. When shocks present, primary acceleration mechanism believed be first-order Fermi, accelerates as they cross shock. Second-order Fermi can also contribute, utilizing magnetic...
