NURA-Nazarbayev University research accelerator: a new linac for WDM, HEDP and HIF

摘要

A project called NURA [1] which is a new linear accelerator (Linac) for Warm DenseMatter (WDM), High Energy Dense Plasma (HEDP) and Heavy Ion Fusion (HIF) is described. TheNURA will be similar to the NDCX-II at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory featuring an inductionlinac [2]. Furthermore, the facility will be designed to allow the flexibility of additional laser heating anddiagnostic beam in combination with the ion beam.
