Research on the generation and transport properties of warm dense matter driven by ion beams

Warm dense matter is an extreme state of matter intermediate between condensed matter and ideal plasma, widely present within celestial bodies in the universe and also a crucial stage in fusion processes. Its particle transport characteristics are key to understanding the structure and evolution laws of matter under extreme conditions, as well as important input parameters for inertial confinement fusion theoretical modeling and astrophysical models. Ion beam-driven warm dense matter possesses unique advantages, capable of generating warm dense matter with millimeter-scale spatial dimensions, uniform state, and durations on the order of hundreds of nanoseconds, providing significant opportunities for studying the fundamental physical properties of warm dense matter. This article briefly introduces the generation and evolution of warm dense matter driven by ion beams, as well as typical advances in ion transport properties and ionization radiation characteristics in dense plasma.
