Longitudinal compression of a velocity-tailored, intense neutralized K+ beam at 300 keV, 25
mA has been demonstrated. The compression takes place in a 1–2 m drift section filled with …

Laser-driven ion accelerators have the advantages of compact size, high density and short
bunch duration over conventional accelerators. Nevertheless, it is still challenging to …

The first electron lenses—understood as" lenses made of electrons" rather than" lenses to
focus electrons"—were envisioned in the mid-1990s and built in the early 2000s for …

In this work, we review current trends in China to investigate beam plasma interaction
phenomena. Recent progresses in China on low energy heavy ions and plasma interaction …

Simultaneous radial focusing and longitudinal compression of intense ion beams are being
studied to heat matter to the warm dense matter, or strongly coupled plasma regime. Higher …

Longitudinal compression factors in excess of 50 of a 300-keV, 20-mA K+ ion beam have
been demonstrated in the Neutralized Drift Compression Experiment (NDCX) in agreement …

A model is presented to calculate the stop** power of ions propagating in dense matter.
Comparisons with experiment in the cold dense regime are presented and discussed …

The linear growth of the two-stream instability for a charged-particle beam that is
longitudinally compressing as it propagates through a background plasma (due to an …

We present a method to estimate the nuclear component of the stop** power of ions
propagating in dense matter. Three kinds of effective pair potentials are proposed. Results …

In a first beam dynamics validation experiment for a new Pulse Line Ion Acceleration (PLIA)
concept, the predicted energy amplification and beam bunching were experimentally …
