Abstract
A technique has been developed for focusing a plasma beam from a coaxial accelerator which increases the plasma energy per unit area by a factor of fifteen or more without reducing the front velocity. The pressure, impulse, and power flux characteristics of a xenon plasma were measured outside the focusing device of the accelerator to optimize the operational parameters. The plasma pulse has a 107 cm/sec front velocity, and sufficient cross sectional area, density, duration, and uniformity to be useful in plasma-solid interaction studies at high power fluxes (∼45 to 100 MW/cm2), where radiation is the dominant mode of energy transfer.
