Beam-plasma interaction experiments relevant to the physics of inertial confinement fusion with heavy-ion beams

Deliverables

The main results of the project can be summarised as follows: Using of plasma lens, installed and made operational at High Energy Density experimental place at GSI the fine focusing (0.5 mmx 0.5 mm) of 300 MeV/n Ar11+ beam, delivered by SIS-18 accelerator, has been achieved. The hydrodynamic motion and light emission in visible and VUV range of exploding Krypton rare gas cryogenic crystal targets 8x14x30 mm irradiated by a focused Ar11+ and Ne+10, have been investigated experimentally. The hydrodynamic motion and pressure distribution of lead targets was measured by PFDF pressure gauges.2D hydrodynamical codes to investigate process of beam cryogenic crystal and lead target interaction was installed. Spectral diagnostic of optic line emission in range 360-1000 nm in dependence on plasma density was provided for shock compression Argon and Xenon plasmas by using explosive generation. Development new method of the diagnostic electron dense plasma by fast proton. Compact (~50 g of HE) strongly coupled explosively driven plasma generators were created for the beam-plasma interaction experiments. The focusing-defocusing effect of symmetric discharge plasma target have been tested by means of 1 MeV proton beams on UKP-2 Tandem accelerator at INP KAZ. Original experimental equipment for the investigation of stopping power of proton beam in explosively driven plasma behind powerful shock waves is installed.
