Titan Feb./March 2009 Experiment planning Status: Jan. 20, 2009 • Revised target lists • Focus on shock heating and e-transport in WDM targets • Add electron transport in shocked Au targets (~2 day shots) • Add some proton hemisphere + foil targets for proton heating shots (~1 day shots) • Electron source targets postponed to April (2 weeks) • Targets requested from LLNL ( Walter has all the information) • Al target supports requested from GA (total 70 supports) • Beams and diagnostics layout defined • Hydro simulations have been performed for shock velocity, timing and warm dense plasmas creation (Bhooshan@UCSD, Mark@LLNL) • In the process defining laser specs for each shot group, and priority/order of shots. • Need to define laser (SP+LP) alignment procedure • Need to define target alignment procedure • Discuss data logging/shot sheet/real-time analysis, participants’ responsibilities • Need LSP simulations for transport study Wei, Sawada, Macphee, Mackinnon
Titan Feb./March 2009 Campaign • Dates: Feb 9 - March 13 (5 weeks) [ will likely be delayed due to the Callisto accident] • Expect ~ _75 shots • Goals • Create and characterize WDM targets using LP driven shock compression and heating of low density foams using side-on radiography and SOP • SP produced electron transport in such WDM targets by measuring Ka yield and angular distribution and compare with cold targets • Electron beam transport in shocked gold targets (CH/Cu/Au) – Relevant to shocked Au cone tip physics in FI • Create and characterize WDM targets using SP produced protons • Test the emission spectroscopy technique for EP proton heating experiment SHCCD Target normal 16° 17° Axis to Cu crystal And HOPG 20° Wei, Sawada, Macphee, Mackinnon

Hydro simulation results of warm dense plasmas in the shocked foam package target (with Hyades code) Target: 5µmAu/150µmCHfoam(0.15mg/cc)/5µmCu/25µmCH Long pulse laser: Intensity 4e13 W/cm2 3ns square pulse, green • Shock reaches the gold/CH foam interface at about 5.2 ns • Peak compression is achieved at bout 6.3ns with the compressed foam density of ~ 2g/cc, Te~15-20 eV,~ 10 µm in length (not suitable for transport study) Wei, Sawada, Macphee, Mackinnon
