Heating of a dense plasma using a relativistic electron beam

1988 
We have carried out an experiment to measure the heating of a dense carbon plasma, ne∼1018–1019 cm−3, by a relativistic electron beam. Using spectroscopic methods, the temperature of the plasma was measured. By taking into consideration the heat loss mechanisms in the plasma, the amount of energy deposited into the plasma by the beam was determined. The results are consistent with theoretical predictions.
