Abstract: The construction of a novel Laser-driven Light Ions Acceleration Line (L3IA) is progressing rapidly towards the operation, following the recent upgrade of the ILIL-PW laser facility. The Line was designed on the basis of the
pilot experimental activity carried out earlier at the same facility to define design parameters and to identify
main components including target control and diagnostic equipment, also in combination with the numerical
simulations for the optimization of laser and target parameters. A preliminary set of data was acquired following
the successful commissioning of the laser system >100 TW upgrade. Data include output from a range of different
ion detectors and optical diagnostics installed for qualification of the laser–target interaction. An overview of
the results is given along with a description of the relevant upgraded laser facility and features.
