Isochoric heating of solid-density matter with an ultrafast proton beam.
A new technique is described for the isochoric heating (i.e., heating at constant volume) of matter to high energy-density plasma states (>10(5) J/g) on a picosecond time scale (10(-12)sec). An intense, collimated, ultrashort-pulse beam of protons--generated by a high-intensity laser pulse--is used to isochorically heat a solid density material to a temperature of several eV. The duration of he...
متن کاملElectron heating and density production in microwave-assisted helicon plasmas
Microwaves are injected into argon and helium helicon plasmas at 6 to 20 mTorr neutral pressure, 1.2 kW pulsed microwave power, up to 500 W continuous RF power, and up to 1 kG magnetic fields, with the objective of heating the tail of the electron energy distribution function (EEDF) and populating ion metastable states. Langmuir probes are used to measure the EEDF and optical emission spectrosc...

متن کاملVisualizing fast electron energy transport into laser-compressed high-density fast-ignition targets
Recent progress in kilojoule-scale high-intensity lasers has opened up new areas of research in radiography, laboratory astrophysics, high-energy-density physics, and fast-ignition (FI) laser fusion. FI requires e cient heating of pre-compressed high-density fuel by an intense relativistic electron beam produced from laser–matter interaction. Understanding the details of electron beam generatio...
متن کاملStudy of electron and proton isochoric heating for fast ignition
Isochoric heating by electrons has been measured in the two limiting cases of small area thin foils with dominant refluxing and cone-long-wire geometrywith negligible refluxing in thewire. Imaging ofCuK fluorescence, crystal x-ray spectroscopy of Cu K shell emission, and XUV imaging at 68eV and 256eV are discussed. Laser power on target was typically 0.5PW in 0.7ps. Heating by focused proton be...
