Abstract

A method is proposed to evaluate the power brightness of an intense pulsed ion beam by using a Thomson parabola spectrometer (TPS). In the method, the time-dependent power brightness of each ion species can be determined independently from the density profile of ion tracks. The method is successfully utilized to evaluate the power brightness of ion beams produced in point pinch diode. The brightness of highly ionized carbons of 660 keV and oxygens of 880 keV, and singly ionized molecular ions of 400 keV, are evaluated independently. The total brightness is evaluated to be 3.2 GW/cm2/sr for highly ionized ions, and 1.9 GW/cm2/sr for molecular ions.
