AbstractA new design for heavy-ion beam driven ramp wave loading experiments is suggested and analyzed. The proposed setup utilizes the long stopping ranges and the variable focal spot geometry of the high-energy uranium beams available at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung and Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research accelerator centers in Darmstadt, Germany. The release wave created by ion beams can be utilized to create a planar ramp loading of various samples. In such experiments, the predicted high pressure amplitudes (up to 10 Mbar) and short timescales of compression (<10 ns) will allow to test the time-dependent material deformation at unprecedented extreme conditions.

An intense and focused heavy ion beam is a suitable tool to generate high energy density in matter. To compare results with simulations it is essential to know beam parameters as intensity, longitudinal, and transversal profile at the focal plane. Since the beam's energy deposition will melt and evaporate even tungsten, non-intercepting diagnostics are required. Therefore a capacitive pickup with high resolution in both time and space was designed, built and tested at the high temperature experimental area at GSI. Additionally a beam induced fluorescence monitor was investigated for the synchrotron's (SIS-18) energy-regime (60–750 AMeV) and successfully tested in a beam-transfer-line.

Abstract Recent research activities relevant to high energy density physics (HEDP) driven by the heavy ion beam at the Institute of Modern Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences are presented. Radiography of static objects with the fast extracted high energy carbon ion beam from the Cooling Storage Ring is discussed. Investigation of the low energy heavy ion beam and plasma interaction is reported. With HEDP research as one of the main goals, the project HIAF (High Intensity heavy-ion Accelerator Facility), proposed by the Institute of Modern Physics as the 12th five-year-plan of China, is introduced.

Focusing of heavy-ion beams is an important issue for ion beam-driven inertial confinement fusion. For the experimental program to investigate matter at high energy densities at GSI, the application of a plasma lens has attractive features compared to standard quadrupole lenses. A plasma lens using a wall-stabilized discharge has been systematically investigated and optimized for this purpose. Different lenses were tested in several runs at the GSI linear accelerator UNILAC and at the SIS-synchrotron. A remarkably high accuracy and reproducibility of the focusing were found. The focal spot size was mainly limited by the beam emittance. A summary of experimental results and important limitations of the focal spot size is given.

This paper presents two-dimensional numerical simulations of heating of matter with intense heavy ion beams. It has been shown that it is very advantageous to irradiate the target with two different beams simultaneously, a main high intensity bunched beam of a heavy element like uranium and an unbunched low intensity beam of a lighter element like argon. The main beam is used to heat the target while the second beam is used as a diagnostic tool.Influence of the shape of the focal spot on compression and heating of matter has also been studied using an elliptic focal spot with an ellipticity of 1.5 (semimajor axis is along y-axis and is 1.5 times the semiminor axis which is along x-axis). It has been found that the temporal behavior of the development of density, pressure, and temperature profiles along different directions is quite different, which is not the case with a circular focal spot.
