Pulse power device and beam driven target as tools for high energy density science

Dense plasmas driven by pulse power devices and/or intense ion beams were evaluated, concerning researches on high-energy density and warm dense matter physics. A warm and dense plasma was produced using pulse power driven exploding discharges in water. A high temperature plasma was formed in a pulse power device by electro-magneticaly driven strong shock wave. A quasi-statically tamped target has been proposed to make a well-defined, warm dense state for equation of state studies based on ion beam heated target.
