- ItemLaser stripping of hydrogen atoms by direct ionization([London] : IOP, 2015) Brunetti, E.; Becker, W.; Bryant, H.C.; Jaroszynski, D.A.; Chou, W.Direct ionization of hydrogen atoms by laser irradiation is investigated as a potential new scheme to generate proton beams without stripping foils. The time-dependent Schrödinger equation describing the atom-radiation interaction is numerically solved obtaining accurate ionization cross-sections for a broad range of laser wavelengths, durations and energies. Parameters are identified where the Doppler frequency up-shift of radiation colliding with relativistic particles can lead to efficient ionization over large volumes and broad bandwidths using currently available lasers.
