are discussed for spherical heavy-ion-beam-driven targets with and without hohlraums …

Neutralization and focusing of intense charged particle beam pulses by electrons form the
basis for a wide range of applications to high energy accelerators and colliders, heavy ion …

During the past two years, significant experimental and theoretical progress has been made
in the US heavy ion fusion science program in longitudinal beam compression, ion-beam …

We present simulations and analysis of the heating of warm dense matter (WDM) foils by ion
beams with energy less than 1MeV per nucleon to target temperatures of order 1eV …

The Heavy-Ion Fusion Sciences Virtual National Laboratory is pursuing an approach to
target heating experiments in the warm-dense matter regime, using space-charge …

The analytical studies show that the application of a small solenoidal magnetic field can
drastically change the self-magnetic and self-electric fields of the beam pulse propagating in …

Ion beam charge neutralization by electron injection is a complex kinetic process. Recent
experiments show that the resulting self-potential of the ion beam after neutralization by …
