Interaction of high-power optical radiation with a superdense plasma in the “Kal'mar” installation

A number of effects is observed that attest to the anomalous character of the interaction of radiation with plasma corona, including formation of a perturbation on the electron-density profile, the appearance of an opacity zone in interferometric investigations of plasma, a singularity in the region with critical density, jetlike character of the plasma luminosity in the x-ray region of the spectrum, etc. New methods are developed for the diagnostics of a nonstationary dense plasma. An experimental investigation was made of the stability of compression of hollow shell targets, and a volume compression of the shell by a factor of several hundred is registered.Translated from Trudy Ordena Lenina Fizicheskogo Instituta im.

Effects on deuteron emission stability from deuteride formation in metals used as plasma targets in laser ion sources

Effects on deuteron emission stability have been examined in relation to metal deuteride formation in plasma targets for laser ion sources. Erbium and zirconium deuterides have been used to demonstrate the factors that increase the emission stability by substantial amounts.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 4, pp. 60–64, April, 1990.     

Space-time dependences of the temperature and concentration of hydrogen nuclides in the plasma-forming target of a laser source of deuterons

The space-time dependence of the temperature and concentration of hydrogen nuclides in a plasma-forming target with the composition ZrD of a laser source of deuterons is calculated taking into account the decomposition of zirconium hydride, occurring deep in the target, together with the laser evaporation of matter on the surface of the target. The results obtained enable qualitative explanation of the behavior of the deuteron emission during the operation of the ion source.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 5, pp. 49–53, May, 1988.

Collective Acceleration of Ions in a Pulsed Magnetic Field of a Conical Spiral

The collective acceleration of laser plasma ions in a magnetic field generated by a powerful fast-growing current pulse in a low-inductive conical spiral is studied. The velocity of ions for a number of elements which significantly differ in atomic weight are obtained on the basis of collector measurements. The maximum velocity of both light (lithium) and heavy (lead) ions exceed the value of 108 cm/s; for ions of lead, the corresponding energy amounts to a value of ∼1 MeV. A mathematical model of ion acceleration is proposed and simulation results are compared with the experiment.     

Measurement of the dynamics of the compression of high aspect-ratio shell targets in the “Delfin-1” installation

With the help of a specific diagnostic system designed for the “DELFIN-1” installation we have measured implosion velocities ? 250 km/s, which are record values for experiments on compression at sufficiently high hydrodynamic efficiency of ablative shell targets. An empirical scaling is shown to agree well with the measured compression velocities.
