Abstract
Experiments performed on the Chanteclair accelerator to study the relativistic electron beam absorption in high and low Z thin foils are discussed. The relativistic electron beam-target interaction is simulated with a trajec code coupled to a hydrodynamic code. Simulations of high current thin gold foil heating experiments led to an energy deposition enhancement of about 2–3, with a rear side temperature of 15–20 eV, in agreement with experimental data. In low current experiments with low Z targets, no anomalous deposition was observed.
