Temperature Diagnosis of Ion-Beam-Driven Foam Targets using K Shell Features From Trace Elements
Abstract
This report describes a practical method of diagnosing the temperature achieved in foam targets driven by energetic ion beams. The hydrocarbon foams are doped with NaF at a density of 6 x 10(exp 18)/cu cm. Together with the carbon, and possibly oxygen, present in the foam, the K shell ionization stages of three elements change distinctly in their spectroscopic features as the foam temperature increases from 50 to 200 eV. A full radiation- hydrodynamics simulation of an x-ray driven magnesium plasma is also described and compared with experimental data.
