Tamped target for warm dense matter experiments using intense heavy ion beam

A new approach for warm dense matter (WDM) experiments using intense heavy ion beams is presented. To improve uniformity of the ion beam driven targets, we compared behaviors of a mono-layer and a tamped cylinder target. For the estimation of target behaviors, a two-dimensional cylindrical hydrodynamics code including ion beam deposition profile was developed. Results show that both targets can reach a warm dense state. In particular, the tamped target can achieve a well defined warm dense state with long time scale
