Abstract

Intense ion beams can be used to generate ultrahigh pressures in condensed matter. Lightion beams generated at the Karlsruhe Light Ion Facility (KALIF) typically have a focus of less than 1-cm diameter. The maximum power density at KALIF achieved so far is of the order of 1 TW/cm2. In the energy deposition zone of the targets, the 1.5-MeV protons of the KALIF beam deposit energy of the order of 100 TW/g or 5 MJ/g. A strongly coupled, hot, dense plasma is thus created by the action of a light ion beam on matter. The high pressure generated in this region has been used to accelerate thin foils to velocities up to 12.5 km/s. A successful interpretation of these experiments can serve as a check of theoretical models and of the equation of state (EOS) data. The present paper contains an investigation of the hydrodynamics of thin aluminum foil accelerated by light ion beams at KALIF using Bθ0-diode. The peak power density in these experiments was 0.15 ± 0.05 TW/cm2. The results of simulations depend mainly on two factors: power density evolution at the target and the EOS for the strongly coupled dense and hot plasma. The beam power density evolution has been carefully remeasured recently. It turned out that the available EOS data do not reproduce experimental results satisfactorily. We have formulated a simple EOS formula in a modified Mie-Grüneisen form. We assume the Grüneisen parameter to be a function of temperature and density. The parameters of this EOS have been adjusted to reproduce experiments at KALIF. In the present paper analysis of beam-target interaction experiments at KALIF is presented using our analytic EOS. We show that such experiments can give information on EOS data in the region of strongly coupled plasma.
