Notes:
A new efficient injection method from a laser ion source to a RFQ was proposed and is being tested in RIKEN (The Institute of Physical and Chemical Research, Japan). Laser plasma is induced just before the entrance of the RFQ and is injected directly into the RFQ channel. In order to understand this new scheme, a particle tracking simulation study, which focused on the entrance of the RFQ, has been started with three-dimensional (3D) space charge effect in a realistic 3D electric field map. According to the beam tracking calculation, the predicted currents are smaller than experimentally obtained values. To obtain better accuracy of the simulation, motion of electrons should be described adequately. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.
