TL;DR: The asymptotic growth of beam-centroid oscillations is computed, and the growth length is found to be very rapid, indeed much less than the betatron period of the beam.

TL;DR: Warp as discussed by the authors is a framework for particle-in-cell simulations of space-charge-dominated ion beams in accelerators, for heavy-ion-driven inertial fusion energy, and related experiments.

TL;DR: In this paper, a radial mesh liner that is positively biased inside a beam drift tube is used to suppress the unwanted secondary electrons produced at the wall by halo particle impact, and measurements of current transmission, beam spot size as a function of axial position, beam energy, and plasma source conditions are presented along with detailed comparisons with theory.

TL;DR: In this paper, an updated, self-consistent point design for a heavy ion fusion (HIF) power plant based on an induction linac driver, indirect-drive targets, and a thick liquid wall chamber has been completed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess how these new techniques might apply to heavy ion fusion drivers for inertial fusion energy, and assess the feasibility of using them to accelerate ion-beam-driven warm dense matter.
