Ion beam produced in laser-driven ion acceleration by ultra-intense lasers has characteristics of high peak cur-rent and low emittance. These characteristics become an advantage to operate the request for the beam applica-tion. Therefore, we study how to control the parameters with the laser-plasma interaction. Here, we used 2D Particle-in-Cell code to simulate the laser-driven ion acceleration and investigated the results in terms of transverse emittance, beam current, and brightness. The
