An overview of experimental data and theoretical methods is given for charge-changing
processes with ion beams passing through gaseous, solid, and plasma targets. The main …

The hydrogen-storage behavior of single-wall carbon nanotubes was studied using
molecular dynamics simulations and ab initio electronic calculations. Hydrogen atoms with …

The aim of this book is to present researchers and graduated students, working in the field of
atomic, plasma, and accelerator physics, the basic aspects of atomic interaction processes …

The unique combination of a high-energy Nd: glass laser system and the intense heavy-ion
beam at Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) allowed for the first time the …

A novel method to determine the total hydrogen density and, accordingly, a precise plasma
temperature in a lowly ionized hydrogen plasma is described. The key to the method is to …

This paper reports the measurement of the energy loss of protons at the energy of 100 keV
penetrating a partially ionized hydrogen plasma. The plasma of ne≈ 1015–16 cm− 3; Te≈ …

The energy loss of argon ions in a target depends on their velocity and charge density. At
the energies studied in this work, it depends mostly on the free and bound electrons in the …

Critical issues and ion beam requirements are explored for fast ignition using ion beams to
provide fuel compression using indirect drive and to provide separate short-pulse ignition …

European activities on inertial fusion energy are coordinated by “keep in touch activities” of
the European Fusion Programme coordinated by the European Commission. There is no …

High intensity particle beams from accelerators induce high energy density states in bulk
matter. Due to the specific nature of the ion‐matter interaction a volume of matter is heated …
