Abstract
The results of lead ion generation with charge state from Pb10+ to pb( 35+) from laser-heated plasma are presented. CO2 lasers producing 10.6 -mu m wavelength radiation at power densities in the range 4 . 10(11)- 6 . 10(14) W/cm(2) in TBKI and CERN were used. Results of detailed num erical simulations presented in the paper are in good agreement with t he experimental data. Work done in collaboration with CERN, ITEP, and TBKI was aimed at the specification of requirements for a laser system that will be able to drive an ion source for the hadron collider (LHC ) at CERN.
