Abstract

Laser-assisted H- stripping is very essential to overcome real challenges of short lifetime and machine activation by using solid stripper foil for that purpose. Extensive studies on the laser stripping are in good progress at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) of Oak Ridge for an H- energy of 1 GeV. It is therefore interesting to explore these studies for lower H- energies. As an example, the 3-GeV Rapid Cycling Synchrotron (RCS) of Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) is considered, where H- injection energy is 400 MeV. The present work is a preliminary study of the laser-assisted H- stripping at this energy, where a set of optimized parameters are considered in order to realize a same level of stripping efficiency as in the SNS case. The feasibility and real challenges are discussed.
