Abstract
We experimentally proved the feasibility of a liquid-based target for Laser Ion Source (LIS) application. The target consists of melted metal gallium contained in a heated crucible. Ions current resulting from laser irradiation. Moreover, given the explosive ablation mechanism involved, each laser shot has been found to induce fluctuations in the surface level. It takes about 0.7 sec to recover the steady condition fully. Despite the maximum fluctuation being 2.7 mm (top-bottom maximum displacement), these fluctuations have shown no significant influence on total ion current and are independent of the temperature of the sample within the tested repetition rate. This study provides valuable insights into the potential of employing such a system for LIS.
