Abstract

The hydrodynamic flow in cylindrical aluminum targets irradiated by intense Xenon beams is discussed for three different beam-target combinations. Solid targets, targets with enclosed cavities, and hollow beams are considered to study the effects of energy deposition and compression waves in matter. Emphasis is put on the occurrence of converging shock waves. The assumed beam intensity of 40TW/cm2 is in the scope of the GSI-SIS/ESR facility that will start operating in 1990/91.

A two-dimensional hydrodynamic code, including the energy deposition of heavy ions, a realistic equation of state, and realistic transport coefficients, is used in numerical simulations to obtain information on the temperature and density distributions and the relevant time scales that have to be expected in these experiments.
