  Recent advances in intense short pulse laser interaction with thin foil
enable us to accelerates the ions upto relativistic velocity in a controlled
way. The accelerated ion beams can be utilized to generate the ion vortex beam
in a similar way as it has been done for electron, neutron and photon vortex
beam case. We present a theoretical demonstration of ion vortex beam with
orbital angular mo- mentum (OAM) generated from a relativistic laser-matter
interaction rearranged into vortex beam by using phase shifter or computer
generated holography. We show that a Laguerre-Gaussian beam exit for
Schrodinger, Klein-Gordon and Dirac particles. This study will motivate to
explore the existence of ion vortex beam experimentally.
