High Energy Density Physics (HEDP) with intense heavy ion beams is a complementary tool to
induce extreme states of matter. The development of this field connects intimately to the advances in accelerator physics and technology. Thus the upcoming high intensity particle accelerators like FAIR at GSI Darmstadt, the proposed HIAF facility in China, and in some respects also NICA at Dubna are a...
Inertial Confinement Fusion is a promising option to provide massive, clean, and affordable energy for humanity in the future. The present status of research and development is hindered by hydrodynamic instabilities occurring at the intense compression of the target fuel by energetic laser beams. A recent proposal by Csernai et al.1 combines advances in two fields: detonations in relativistic...
The talk is related to a Hungarian collaboration, NAPLIFE: Nano-plasmonic Laser Inetial Fusion Experiment, and will focus on considerations and preliminary results regarding the target fabrication. The goal is the development of a bulk-nanocomposite, where the concentration of nanoparticles is controlled along the normal direction. The talk will address the following topics: 1) theoretical...
