Taylor cones of ionic liquids from capillary tubes as sources of pure ions: The role of surface tension and electrical conductivity
David Garoz, C. Bueno, C. Larriba +5
The emissions of Taylor cones from a wide range of ionic liquids (ILs) have been tested in vacuo in an attempt to identify what physical properties favor the purely ionic regime (P…
Plasma-wall interaction in laser inertial fusion reactors: novel proposals for radiation tests of first wall materials
J. Alvarez Ruiz, A. Rivera, K. Mima +8
Dry-wall laser inertial fusion (LIF) chambers will have to withstand strong bursts of fast charged particles which will deposit tens of kJ m and implant more than 10…
Materials research for hiper laser fusion facilities: chamber wall, structural material and final optics
J. Alvarez, A. Rivera, R. Gonzalez-Arrabal +3
The European HiPER project aims to demonstrate commercial viability of inertial fusion energy within the following two decades. This goal requires an extensive Research & Developme…
Thermo-mechanical behaviour of a tungsten first wall in HiPER laser fusion scenarios
D Garoz, A. R. Páramo, A Rivera +2
The behaviour of a tungsten first wall is studied under the irradiation conditions predicted for the different operation scenarios of the European Laser fusion project HiPER, which…
Charge emissions from Electrosprays in vacuum: mixtures of formamide with methylammonium formate
David Garoz, Juan Fernández de la Mora
The charge/mass distribution f(q/m) of nanodrops and ions electrosprayed in vacuum from mixtures of formamide (FM) and methylammonium formate (MAF) is studied by time of flight mas…
Silica final lens performance in laser fusion facilities: HiPER and LIFE
David Garoz, R. González-Arrabal, R. Juárez +4
Nowadays, the projects LIFE (Laser Inertial Fusion Energy) in USA and HiPER (High Power Laser Energy Research) in Europe are the most advanced ones to demonstrate laser fusion ener…
