Theoretical models for describing longitudinal bunch compression in the neutralized drift compression experiment

Heavy ion drivers for warm dense matter and heavy ion fusion applications use intense charge bunches which must undergo transverse and longitudinal compression in order to meet the requisite high current densities and short pulse durations desired at the target. The neutralized drift compression exp...
