Outline
• High Energy Density Physics (HEDP); Warm Dense Matter regime
• Beam requirements
• Experiments & modeling– Neutralized focusing– Neutralized pulse compression
• Accelerator
• Plans
The Heavy Ion Fusion Virtual National Laboratory
High Energy Density Physics is now a mission of the Heavy Ion Fusion VNL
• Long-term goal remains Inertial Fusion Energy (IFE)
• Emerging interest in HEDP near-term HIF effort focused on HEDP
• IFE is HEDP, but we now need to heat targets in the near term– HEDP is 1011 J/m3 ; p hydro time ~ 1 ns– Not yet accessible with our ion drivers; must develop capability
• “Warm Dense Matter” (WDM) regime of strongly-coupled few-eV plasmas at 10-2 to 10-1 of solid density is the first step– Interesting, and challenging, because these are neither
classical plasmas nor ordinary condensed matter
Ion-driven HEDP

R. More: Large uncertainties in WDM region arise in the two phase (liquid-vapor) region
Accurate results in two-phase regime essential for WDM
R. More has recently developed new high-quality EOS for Sn
Interesting behavior in the T~1.0 eV regime
EOS tools for this temperature and density range are just now being developed.

Ion beam heating offers unique opportunities for HEDP science
Advantages of Bragg-peak ion heating:
• Uniform heating of large volumes (few %) aids diagnosis• Volumetric energy deposition: no shocks, no x-ray or e- preheat• Time scales long enough for equilibrium conditions • Beam deposits ~75% of its energy; can measure beam changes• High repetition rate valuable for setup, diagnostic tuning

For HEDP studies, the accelerator, drift compression, and final focus must all work together
Na+
One concept: the beam …• enters in Brillouin flow with a 5-10% velocity tilt …• transitions to a Neutralized Drift Compression region …• is focused by a strong solenoid …• and by an assisted-pinch discharge channel, onto the target.
Issues:• Effectiveness of dipole trap at preventing plasma flow upstream• Transition from Brillouin flow to neutralized transport• Control of beam plasma instabilities and stripping in long plasma columns

Negative pulse accelerates tailmore than head, giving tilt
Main snowplow: shaped so that tail of pulse arrives at end of helix as beam end arrives there. This gives the beam an overall “tilt” in longitudinal phase space
Voltage (MV)
Strong longitudinal space charge effects in the snowplow can be controlled by shaping the voltage waveform
