论文摘要

二维粒子中的粒子模拟用于探索惯性限制融合颗粒的压缩核心的电晕等离子体中的无碰撞冲击加速度。我们表明,强烈的激光脉冲与长长长度等离子体电晕相互作用,能够在临界密度周围引发无碰撞冲击。非线性波通过反射和加速背景离子的等离子体向上行进。我们的结果表明,具有适用于离子快速点火的特征的质子可以通过这种方式实现。

Two-dimensional Particle-In-Cell simulations are used to explore collisionless shock acceleration in the corona plasma surrounding the compressed core of an inertial confinement fusion pellet. We show that an intense laser pulse interacting with the long scale-length plasma corona is able to launch a collisionless shock around the critical density. The nonlinear wave travels up-ramp through the plasma reflecting and accelerating the background ions. Our results suggest that protons with characteristics suitable for ion fast ignition may be achieved in this way.
