“…High-gradient tests with parallel beamlets were carried out, as were reduced-gradient scaled tests of a converging-beamlets system. WARP simulations were used to design the experiments, and results are in good agreement with those predictions [37][38][39].…”

The Heavy Ion Fusion Science Virtual National Laboratory (HIFS-VNL) is a collaboration of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. These laboratories, in cooperation with researchers at other institutions, are carrying out a coordinated effort to apply intense ion beams as drivers for studies of the physics of matter at extreme conditions, and ultimately for inertial fusion energy. Progress on this endeavor depends upon coordinated application of experiments, theory, and simulations. This paper describes the state of the art, with an emphasis on the coordination of modeling and experiment; developments in the simulation tools, and in the methods that underly them, are also treated.

“…The cone was attached to a 51-micron thick stainless steel screen with 76 micron circular holes on a hexagonal pattern of 152 micron hole-to-hole separation. The detector in this experiment was an alumina screen used as a scintillator imaged with a Princeton Instruments intensified CCD (PIMAX) gated camera [9]. The purpose of the screen is to provide a source of neutralizing secondary electrons to the scintillator surface.…”

“…The purpose of the screen is to provide a source of neutralizing secondary electrons to the scintillator surface. Previous measurements (on STS-500 [9]) indicated that the response of the alumina scintillator light output is approximately linear with K + beam energy in the energy range 30 to 350 keV. As a result the light output from the scintillator was used as a relative measure of the beam energy flux incident on the scintillator.…”
