Hydrogen and deuterium in shock wave experiments, ab initio simulations and chemical picture modeling

We present equation of state data of shock compressed hydrogen and deuterium. These have been calculated in the physical picture by using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations based on finite temperature density functional theory as well as in the chemical picture via the Saha-D model. The results are compared in detail with data of shock wave experiments obtained for condensed and gaseous precompressed hydrogen and deuterium targets in a wide range of shock compressions from low pressures up to megabars

A numerical parameter study of the beam-target interaction performed at KALIF

The Karlsruhe Target Code KATACO is used to simulate beam-target interaction experiments performed with the Karlsruhe Light Ion Facility KALIF. This report summarizes the main results of a numerical parameter study with different assumptions about the maximum power density of the KALIF diodes, the beam angle and energy distribution and the beam power rising and decreasing time. A discussion of the role of radiative transfer and two-dimensional effects is included. The calculations show that more detailed information is needed about the beam parameters at the target during individual KALIF shots for a better interpretation of single experiments. A simultaneous measurement of target velocities and temperatures of the generated ablation plasma is desirable. The two-dimensional simulations suggest the possibility to deduce information about the spatial beam profile of KALIF from spatially resolved measurements of the target velocity.
