Conceptual design of heavy ion beam compression using a wedge
Heavy ion beams are a useful tool for conducting high energy density physics (HEDP) experiments. Target heating can be enhanced by beam compression, because a shorter pulse diminishes hydrodynamic expansion during irradiation. A conceptual design is introduced to compress ∼100 MeV/u to ∼GeV/u heavy...
