Dynamics of Cryogenic Jets: Non-Rayleigh Breakup and Onset of Nonaxisymmetric Motions

Abstract: We report development of generators for periodic, satellite-free fluxes of mono-disperse drops with diameters down to 10 µm from cryogenic liquids like H2, N2, Ar and Xe (and, as reference fluid, water). While the breakup of water jets can well be described by Rayleigh's linear theory, we find jet regimes for H2 and N2 which reveal deviations from this behavior. Thus, Rayleigh's theory is inappropriate for thin jets that exchange energy and/or mass with the surrounding medium. Moreover, at high evaporation rat… Show more

“…2) is ≈ 0.53 for the argon beam and ≈ 0.26 for the hydrogen beam. These values are slightly different from that corresponding to the Rayleigh mode for fastest sinusoidal perturbation growth, which occurs for x ≈ 0.7, and are consistent with previous observations 24 .…”

“…The expanding liquid filament thus rapidly cools below its normal melting point and freezes well before Rayleigh breakup can take place 6,22 . The jet freezing can be circumvented by expanding the liquid into an atmosphere of the respective gas before injecting the resulting droplet stream into vacuum, a scheme that has enabled the production of hydrogen droplet beams for applications in nuclear physics research in a storage ring 23,24 . However, the droplet sources employed in these studies are characterized by extended dimensions and a substantial loss of the spatial synchronization of the triggered droplet beam on the vacuum side 23 , crucial features that preclude their use in experiments in which pulses from a high-power laser are focused to a micro-scale spot.…”

“…A prototype of a corpuscular target has now been developed by groups, working jointly, from the MEI, the ITEF, and the Institute of Nuclear Physics (Jülich, Germany) [2]. It consists of the following basic systems: the main cryostat, cryostat-trap, and vacuum system, systems for supplying the working gases and cryogenic liquids, and a diagnostics system.…”

“…In the community of particle physics, there is also a need for small spherical solid targets to study laser interactions or collisions with exotic ions. Two main teams contributed the development of spherical solid particles injectors in vacuum based on the Rayleigh Plateau instability [32][33][34] , assisted by a vibrating piezoelectric transducer. The main difference between their respective approaches resides in the way they cope with the necessity of letting the pressure surrounding the droplets decrease from the triple point pressure to vacuum.…”
