Advanced diagnostics and applications of pulsed ion beams and lasers

Summary form only given. Several kinds of experiments are shown concerning the generation, diagnostics and applications of pulsed ion beams and lasers. We are interested in a few research fields of ICF, material and space sciences. Several high voltage machines both at Yokohama and Albuquerque were used to produce ion beams and laser lights. Proton beams of a few hundred kV energy were produced with a conventional magnetically insulated diode. The beams were measured with the following two methods. One was a track detector with a CCD element, and the other was a conventional plastic track detector, Baryotrak-P(CR). The beam tracks were counted with a particle counter, and both results were compared. Two kinds of KrF and a CO/sub 2/ laser were planned to be applied to targets ablation. We use targets at cryogenic and room temperature, and substrates at cryogenic and high temperature. We also want to use our beams to simulate wall materials for the future advanced ICF reactors with lasers and Z pinches.
