Abstract
Laser-accelerated proton beams (LAP) have inspired innovative applications that can leverage proton bunch properties distinct from those of conventionally accelerated proton beams. A new multifunctional LAP beamline has been proposed, utilizing the GEANT4 toolkit, and the solenoids have been simulated using high-precision components.We present the design of the initial segment of the transport beamline and energy selection system for the effective transport of a radiation pressure acceleration source with a high energy spread. This study examines the effects of solenoids on proton beam quality, specifically focusing on profiles, FWHM, and transmission efficiency. The results obtained using our developed GEANT4 toolkit validate the analytical formulas and findings from the DYNAMION code regarding emittance and proton profiles. Additionally, the presented GEANT4 LAP beamline is capable of calculating the flux of secondary particles, such as neutrons and photons. It was observed that careful attention to the precise structure of the solenoids is critical.
