An investigation of the properties of the ablation products from intense-pulsed ion beam impact on solid targets is described. Measurements and calculations of the properties of the ablation plume are presented and correlated with incident beam parameters. Experimental techniques include Thomson parabola particle spectroscopy to measure the incident ion beam atomic composition and the energy spectrum of each beam component, thermal imaging to measure the incident-beam energy density, time-resolved photography to measure the plume expansion time history and geometry, and time-resolved energy-density measurements of the plume. The results of a thermal transport model of the beam-target interaction are presented, and a detailed comparison with measurements is made.
