Cumulative plasma jet formation for acceleration of macroparticles

Abstract

The control methods of cinematic parameters of cumulative plasma jets (PJ) formed while exposing conical targets to high-energy radiation are considered. It is shown that realization of the principle of the forced Jet formation allows to increase the speed and pulse of the formed PJ considerably.For obtaining of high speed plasma jets, acceleration of macro-particles to hypervelocity it is suggested in work El] to use the action of high energy radiation to the profiled targets.The idea can be developed in the following directions: introduction of the space radiation focusing, dynamic formation of the profiled (conical) target and realization of the principle of the forced jet formation fox the increase of energetic and speed parameters of plasma Jets.While Jet formation at the collapse of the profiled (e.g.conical) targets we deal w i t h the processes taking place in cumdative charges 121. At the same time we have a number of characteristic features while loading the target surface by means of high-energy radiation action: the loading speeds of the generating line, of the target pressure on its surface and dynamics of the target loading differ considerably. The first two differences are evident and the third difference is in the fact that while using the pulse systems the loading o f the generating line of the target occurs not with a terminal speed, but practically unstantaneously and the pulse and pressure are distributed along the target surface uniformly. It is possible to control the cinematic parameters of the formed PJ by introducing radiation focusing (for example, laser radiation focusing) along the generating line of target. It is possible to show that the distribution of the ablatian pressure along the generating line of the target should be close to linear, incident to the cone base In order to provide the maximum speed of the PJ. Such radiation focusing can be provided by means of special efements of diffiaction optics and quasioptics 131 allowing to concentrate the incident radiation along the arbitrary 3D conf!guration. So, for focusing "into cone" the structure of zones on the surface of a flat diffraction element should be described by the expression:where w = k / sin@) + Q k -l),(a)/(ctg(a)+ctg(P), 0 -the semiangle of the cone, f -a focal distance, hradiation wavelength. The shape of the focusing region of such an element in (ZJ) coordinates simulating in computer complex [4], is shown in the Figure 1 , t = 1 / sin(a), w Fig.la.

The application of conical targets is connected with some technological difficulties stipulated by small dimensions of the target. It is possible to do away with strict requirements to geometric sizes reverting to a flat target and to transfer all the difficulties to the devices of radiation focusing. In other words, for rather thin target it is possible to make such density distribution of the 0-7803-8943-3/05/%20.00 0 2005 IEEE Natural Sciences

Some Possibilities of Hypercumulative Regime of Jet Formations

“…Preliminary numerical research on the jet-formation beginning process conducted by the authors of present paper showed [28] that in the turn zone the flow character is considerably non-stationary, wave and quasiperiodic. Such behavior is characteristic for the viscous medium.…”

Explosive Pulsed Plasma Antennas for Information Protection

“…As it was shown in [10] the length of such type of antenna about several hundreds meters are available ( figure 16). Also new physical principles of shaped charge design in applications to plasma antenna must be developed [29][30][31][32]. For example, academic prof. V.F.Minin [34] at the beginning of 1960 th discovered a new shaped charge with cylindrical liner [13,29].…”

“…The methods of the magnetic fields generation (including laser light interaction with a conical target for plasma jet formation in a hypercumulative mode) up to ≈100 MGaus, higher than that in flux‐compression generators, were discussed in Refs.
