Abstract

At the Spallation Neutron Source accelerator preparations are underway for a 10 us laser-assisted H-stripping experiment. This is a three orders of magnitude increase in pulse duration compared the to initial 2006 proof of principle experiment. The focus of the experiment is the validation of methods that reduce the average laser power requirement, including laser-ion beam temporal matching, ion beam dispersion tailoring, and specialized longitudinal and transverse optics. In this presentation we report on the status of preparations and the anticipated schedule for the experiment.
