摘　　要：针对强流离子束在固体等离子体靶中的输运问题,详细介绍一种粒子/流体混合模拟方法,发展了二维数值模拟程序Opic2D-hybrid,研究强流质子束在聚乙烯和固态铝靶中的集体输运行为。结果表明:强流质子束在固体靶中输运时产生的自生磁场有利于横向箍缩质子束流。并且靶加热离化产生的大量自由电子,也有利于减弱固体靶的阻止本领,从而拉长质子束流射程。但是靶温度升高也会降低电阻率,抑制自生磁场产生。同时靶离化也会带来更强的离子-离子散射效应,导致质子束的空间扩散。这些效应彼此间相互竞争,决定了强流质子束的输运行为。还分析了影响磁场产生的物理因素,提出多种手段提高自生磁场强度,从而实现强流质子束在固体靶中的箍缩传输。A hybrid particle-in-cell/fluid method is introduced to simulate the transport of intense ion beams in the solid plasmas.A two-dimensional numerical program opic2d-hybrid has been developed and it is used to study the collective behavior of the intense proton beam transport into the polyethylene and solid aluminum targets.It is shown that intense magnetic field is self-generated by the transport of intense proton beam in solid targets.This magnetic field is of benefit to pinch the proton beam.Moreover,due to the production of substantial free-electrons by the target heating and ionization,the stopping power of solid target become weaken,thereby lengthening the proton beam range.On the contrary,the increase of target temperature will reduce the resistivity and thus inhibit the generation of magnetic field.Furthermore,the target ionization leads to much stronger ion-ion scattering effect,thus resulting in the diffusion of protons in transverse space.These effects compete with each other and determine the transport behavior of intense proton beam.At the last,the physical factors contributing to the generation of magnetic field are also analyzed.Some means to increase the strength of magnetic field have been proposed in order to realize the pinch transport of intense proton beams in solid targets.
