“…Its magnetic field is azimuthally directed and radially linearly increasing. This field focuses a parallel beam onto a spot [1][2][3][4][5][6] or, vice versa, a divergent beam from a production target into a parallel beam [7][8][9][10].…”

A specifically tailored plasma lens could shape a high-energy, heavy-ion beam into the form of a hollow cylinder without loss of beam intensity. It has been experimentally confirmed that both a positive as well as a negative radial gradient of the current density in the active plasma lens can be the underlying principle. Calculations were performed that yield the ideal current density distribution for both cases. A numerical simulation of an experiment with an intense ion beam highlights that the shaping of the beam increases the achievable compression in a lead sample.

“…Energy loss and the final charge state distribution of the ions are the typical signals which reveal the beam-plasma interaction processes, and which allow us to draw conclusions for the plasma target properties [18]. The general interest in these measurements is the determination of the deposition power with high accuracy, an analysis of recombination and charge exchange processes, and the hydrodynamic response of matter irradiated with high-intensity heavy ion beams [19][20][21][22].…”

Interaction phenomena of intense ion and laser radiation with matter have a large range of application in different fields of science, from basic research of plasma properties to application in energy science. The hot dense plasma of our neighbouring star the Sun provides a deep insight into the physics of fusion, the properties of matter at high energy density, and is moreover an excellent laboratory for astroparticle physics. As such the Sun's interior plasma can even be used to probe the existence of novel particles and dark matter candidates. We present an overview on recent results and developments of dense plasma physics addressed with heavy ion and laser beams combined with accelerator and nuclear physics technology.

“…At GSI basic research in accelerator physics and technology, and plasma physics are also addressing key issues of inertial fusion energy with topics like focusing and transport of high-intensity ion beams [16][17][18] and beam plasma interaction physics. Especially, interaction processes of heavy ion beams with dense plasmas and the hydrodynamic and radiative properties of matter under the conditions of high energy density still lack a detailed understanding.…”
