Material Response to 500 keV Proton Beams at Intensities Below 1 GW/cm2.

Abstract

Stress-wave response of several materials to 500 keV, 1 kA/sq cm. proton pulses was monitored by shadowgraphy and interferometric methods. Results indicated the presence of both direct absorption and interaction plasma effects. Incident beam power densities of about 1 GW/sq cm. are necessary for plasma effects to dominate the interaction. (Author)
