Time-resolved measurement of energy loss of low-energy heavy ions in a plasma using a surface-barrier charged-particle detector

Development of a non-ideal plasma target for non-linear beam–plasma interaction experiments

“…Also, the interaction experiments require high repetition rate to reduce statistics errors [10]. From these points of view, we applied an electromagnetic shock tube shown in Fig.…”

Beam–plasma interaction experiments using electromagnetically driven shock waves

“…Time-resolved spectroscopic measurements revealed that the plasma density and temperature behind the shock front has an appropriate spatial and temporal distribution to be used as a target for interaction experiments [15]. On the other hand, an energy loss measurement system compatible with gas targets has been developed in parallel with shock tube development [16,17]. In this system we adopted a twostage differential pumping to confine the target gas and a silicon semiconductor detector to directly measure the energy of single ions.…”
