Ablation Pressure Driven by an Energetic Electron Beam in a Dense Plasma

Résumé

An intense beam of high energy electrons may create extremely high pressures in solid density materials. An analytical model of ablation pressure formation and shock wave propagation driven by an energetic electron beam is developed and confirmed with numerical simulations. In application to the shock-ignition approach in inertial confinement fusion, the energy transfer by fast electrons may be a dominant mechanism of creation of the igniting shock wave. An electron beam with an energy of 30 keV and energy flux 2-5 PW=cm 2 can create a pressure amplitude more than 300 Mbar for a duration of 200-300 ps in a precompressed solid material.
