“…It was demonstrated that the environment influences the energy deposition process (Nardi et al, 2007;Barriga-Carrasco & Maynard, 2005;Hoffmann et al, 1994). An enhanced energy loss and increased charge state of the projectiles was measured in experiments with plasma targets (Hoffmann et al, 2000;Dietrich et al, 1992).…”

The dependence of calcium ion subshell populations on the target density during the ion stopping process was analyzed using a five charge-state collisional-radiative model. The model, which consists of the ground and three excited states for every ion charge, was successfully compared with the experiment. The gas-solid difference of calcium ion charge state distribution has been numerically demonstrated. For Ca projectiles with energies of 4-11 MeV/u, the increase of the mean ion charge in solid target is explained by the increase of the total ionization rate and by suppression of the bound electron capture process at high densities of the stopping medium.

“…The ions penetrate deeply into the volume of the plasma target. 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.

“…[6][7][8][9][10][11] In most of these studies, projectile energies were over 0.5 MeV/u. On the other hand, strippers are usually used at somewhat lower incident energies because of the need to use strippers in the early stages of acceleration in order to obtain higher projectile energies.…”

The feasibility of using hot plasmas as strippers for low-energy ion beams has been investigated by measuring charge state distributions of 350 keV/u ions ( 12 C, 16 O, 19 F) after their passage through a laser-produced plasma target. The plasma target was produced by irradiating a small pellet of lithium hydride with a Nd-glass laser. The profiles of electron densities of the plasma target were estimated from the intensity profiles of an Ar laser refracted by the plasma. The intensities of ions with different charge states were simultaneously measured using a time-resolved magnetic spectrograph. It was found that this plasma can yield higher charge states than conventional gaseous or solid strippers. Results of a numerical analysis are compared with the experimental data to explain the observed stripping capability of the plasma.
