Overview

Randomized trial demonstrates plasma formation thresholds in various materials, suggesting implications for reactor design.

Key Points

  • The aim is to determine the energy density thresholds for plasma formation on different target surfaces under electron beam bombardment.
  • Conducted experiments on tungsten, tantalum, copper, and stainless steel targets under high-current electron beam bombardment up to 600 GW/m².
  • Used ion time-of-flight and time- and space-resolved spectroscopy to determine plasma formation thresholds.
  • Analyzed target morphology with scanning electron microscopy before and after bombardment.
  • Identified plasma formation occurred before expected melting in all materials tested.
  • Determined specific energy density thresholds necessary for plasma formation across investigated materials.
