Investigation of physics and dynamics of matter with high energy density generated by light ion beams and high explosives

Objetivo



The physics of matter with high energy density is an expanding field and is being investigated at different laboratories. Its importance stems both from basic physics, in the field of optical, thermodynamic and kinetic properties of matter and shock waves physics, and its application in applied science for inertial confinement fusion, astrophysics and the impact of micrometeorites on space vehicles.

The physics of matter at high energy density will be studied. Matter under extreme state will be generated with high power light ion beam at the Karlsruhe light ion facility KALIF and with the use of explosive techniques. Theoretical investigations require the availability of adequate data on the optical properties and on the equation of state of the matter under these conditions. The modelling of these phenomena occurring to high energy density matter under the action of strong ion beams requires efficient numerical treatment. In the region of strongly coupled plasma complex atomic physics models have to be used.

The diagnostic system to determine the state of plasma created by the interaction of strong ion beams will be improved and experiments at KALIF using the developed diagnostics will be performed. On the theoretical side, optical properties and the equation of state data will be calculated using advanced atomic physics models. These data are needed at the densities ranging from solid density to one thousandth of solid density and temperatures ranging from room temperature to about 100 eV. Using these data in especially developed multidimensional radiation hydrodynamic codes, experiments performed at KALIF will be analysed to advance the understanding of strongly coupled plasma and propagation of shock waves in such plasma.
