Report on the Symposium on Heavy Ion Inertial Fusion, Darmstadt, Germany, June 1988

摘要

Progress on high-current, low-emittance heavy ion beams in both RF linacs and induction linacs was reported at the Symposium on Heavy Ion Inertial Fusion. Significant current amplification in a proof-of-principle multiple-beam induction linac was described. Experimental results from France and Germany show enhanced energy deposition by low-energy heavy ions in hot dense plasmas. The GSI heavy ion synchrotron (SIS) and the experimental storage ring (ESR) are under construction; when completed, the beams will be used for experiments to study hot dense plasma phenomena.
