Charge equilibrium of a laser-generated carbon-ion beam in warm dense matter.

چکیده
Using ion carbon beams generated by high intensity short pulse lasers we perform measurements of single shot mean charge equilibration in cold or isochorically heated solid density aluminum matter. We demonstrate that plasma effects in such matter heated up to 1 eV do not significantly impact the equilibration of carbon ions with energies 0.045-0.5 MeV/nucleon. Furthermore, these measurements allow for a first evaluation of semiempirical formulas or ab initio models that are being used to predict the mean of the equilibrium charge state distribution for light ions passing through warm dense matter.

Ion Stopping in Dense Plasma Target for High Energy Density Physics
The basic physics of nonrelativistic and electromagnetic ion stopping in hot and ionized plasma targets is thoroughly updated. Corresponding projectile-target interactions involve enhanced projectile ionization and coupling with target free electrons leading to significantly larger energy losses in hot targets when contrasted to their cold homologues. Standard stoppping formalism is framed arou...
متن کاملCSU PHYSICS COLLOQUIUM Intense Laser‐Driven Ion Beams: the Science of How They’re Made and Their Applications
Laser‐plasma interactions in the novel regime of relativistically‐induced transparency have been harnessed to generate ef iciently intense ion beams with average energies exceeding 10 MeV/nucleon (> 100 MeV for protons) at 'table‐top' scales. High‐intensity is possible because these beams are neutralized and therefore immune to the space‐charge and current limits of conventional beams. We have ...
متن کاملAtomic and optical properties of warm dense copper.
The emission of x rays from warm dense matter is of great interest for both spectroscopic diagnostics and development of intense x-ray sources. We report the results from the collisional-radiative steady-state (CRSS) modeling of atomic and optical properties of copper plasmas at near-solid and solid-state density for a range of temperatures. The CRSS model is validated against the available dat...
متن کاملVisualization of expanding warm dense gold and diamond heated rapidly by laser-generated ion beams
With the development of several novel heating sources, scientists can now heat a small sample isochorically above 10,000 K. Although matter at such an extreme state, known as warm dense matter, is commonly found in astrophysics (e.g., in planetary cores) as well as in high energy density physics experiments, its properties are not well understood and are difficult to predict theoretically. This...
