Recent experiments towards production and diagnostic of nitrogen ion beam for medium-mass ion beam ICF

To promote the research of medium mass ion beams, associate topics are investigated recently. This is a combined paper of the three groups shown above. These groups are cooperating in recent years. The first group presents new proposals and preliminary results concerning (1) re-operation of cryogenic diode for nitrogen beam, (2) laser plasma production to supply ion source, (3) application of CCD camera element to advanced particle detector, (4) application of cryogenic technique to advanced material production method and (5) reform of UV laser for future diode cleaning or plasma production. On the other hand, the joint group of the second and the third groups presents (6) most recent results of time- and spatial- dependent particle beam diagnostics by an advanced arrayed pin-hole camera.
