An ion beam has a unique feature to deposit its main energy inside a human body to kill cancer cells or inside material. In this paper, a future intense laser ion accelerator is discussed to make the laser-based ion accelerator compact and controllable. The issues in the laser ion accelerator include the energy efficiency from the laser to the ions, the ion beam collimation, the ion energy spectrum control, the ion beam bunching, and the ion particle energy control. The energy efficiency from the laser to ions is improved by using a solid target with a fine sub-wavelength structure. The ion beam collimation is performed by larger holes behind the solid target. An ion beam bunching and a post-acceleration are successfully realized by a multi-stage laser-target interaction. The controllable laser ion acceleration would become viable based on the study discussed in this paper. In this paper, we present 3D PIC simulation results for the controllability of laser ion acceleration system.
