“…We are performing Monte-Carlo proton scattering modeling to reconstruct the density profile of the release. 6 Although in this project we successfully created isochorically heated plasmas in the 10-20eV range we found that the spatial resolution of the proton probe beam able to be created on the JanUSP laser would be insufficient to probe a density front in solid material to the degree required for an accurate EOS measurement. Recent experiments performed with collaborators at LLNL 7 on high energy K-alpha x-ray production have suggested that it may be possible to generate an x-ray source with sufficiently high energy, and sufficiently small source size, to radiograph the density front in an isochorically heated material.…”

The aim of this LDRD is to develop two completely new methods for creating and probing warm dense states of matter (plasmas at several eV at solid density), which will enable the direct measurement of fundamental material properties such as the opacity and equation of state (EOS). There is in this warm dense regime an almost complete lack of quantitative experimental data-primarily because of the difficulty in creating uniform, single temperature/density plasmas on which to make measurements. In an ideal case one would volumetrically heat a target with a very short burst of energy-simultaneously making measurements prior to the subsequent hydrodynamic expansion of the target. However, no mechanism for such rapid, uniform heating of a material currently exists. We propose to develop a completely new technique that has the potential for creating large uniform plasmas in local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) at warm dense conditions. This technique is based on volumetric heating of solid density targets with a high energy, high-flux, short-pulse, laser-produced proton beam. We also propose to use this beam of protons to probe high-Z, solid density matter with both 2-dimensional spatial resolution and picosecond temporal resolution. The combination of these two techniques will enable us to make the very first quantitative measurements of the equation of state and opacity of an isochorically heated state of matter.

“…Recent results from experi- ments conducted on the Omega laser have measured Hugoniot data for high pressure, dense helium, 79 the shock induced transformation of liquid hydrogen into a metallic fluid, 80 and electronic conduction in shock-compressed water. 81 Additionally, high pressure, shock compressed iron has been measured on the LULI and Vulcan lasers, 82 and the shock compressed EOS of liquid hydrogen has been measured on the Z magnetic pinch facility. 83 With NIF, experiments could be done, for the first time, to measure the EOS of planetary constituents at pressures approaching those at the centers of the giant planets.…”

The National Ignition Facility (NIF) [E. I. Moses, J. Phys.: Conf. Ser. 112, 012003 (2008); https://lasers.llnl.gov/], completed in March 2009, is the highest energy laser ever constructed. The high temperatures and densities achievable at NIF will enable a number of experiments in inertial confinement fusion and stockpile stewardship, as well as access to new regimes in a variety of experiments relevant to x-ray astronomy, laser-plasma interactions, hydrodynamic instabilities, nuclear astrophysics, and planetary science. The experiments will impact research on black holes and other accreting objects, the understanding of stellar evolution and explosions, nuclear reactions in dense plasmas relevant to stellar nucleosynthesis, properties of warm dense matter in planetary interiors, molecular cloud dynamics and star formation, and fusion energy generation.
