Repetitive outbursts of fast carbon and fluorine ions from sub-nanosecond laser-produced plasma

Repeated plasma outbursts were recognized at our analyzing currents of the fast carbon and fluorine ions produced with the sub-nanosecond PALS laser beam focused onto polytetrafluoroethylene and polyethylene targets. The deconvolution of ion collector signal made the determination of the ion temperature as well as the effective voltage accelerating the fast ions possible. The value of the accelerating voltage decreases with increasing ion outburst number; the highest value of this voltage was about 800 kV.
