Final transport of heavy-ion beams for inertial-confinement fusion
Description:
A heavy ion beam propagating through a hard or near vacuum (< 10/sup -3/ torr) is subject to emittance growth due to the phase space distortions caused by anharmonic self-forces. If the distortion remains uncorrected, an enlarged focal spot results. Analytic predictions of an increase in rms emittance and focal spot size are given for the hard vacuum case and are shown to agree with computer simuations for initially cold beams. Some effects of the beam preconditioning in the region from acceler…
