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

摘要

The Symposium hosted by GSI attracted about 130 participants from 12 countries. Progress in developments for high-current low-emittance heavy ion beams in both rf linacs and induction linacs has been reported. 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. 28 refs., 6 figs.
