Coherent Ion Acceleration Using Beating Electrostatic Waves
Abstract
In this final technical report we document, in three chapters and an appendix, the results obtained under the 1-year continuation AFOSR contract (FA9550-05-1-0181; Start date: 03/15/05; End date: 12/31/05) to our AFOSR-sponsored study of a new ion acceleration mechanism using beating electrostatic waves. The first phase of the work (F49620-02-1-0009; State date: 08/31/2002; End date: 9/1/04) was documented in detail in a final report submitted to AFOSR on 1/24/05. In that report we documented the work on, and results from, our theoretical investigation of the problem and presented preliminary experimental work aimed at demonstrating and studying the new effect in the laboratory. In this present report we document the final experimental results and related studies, undertaken during the 1-year continuation of the project under AFOSR contract FA9550-05-1-0181.
