基于厚套筒快Z箍缩内爆直接压缩磁化聚变靶的磁化套筒惯性聚变(MagLIF)，可能实现聚变研究新的突破，是目前Z箍缩研究的热点问题之一。然而，人们对厚套筒初始等离子体形成这一关键过程的物理图像尚不清晰，限制了对内爆中不稳定性发展和轴向磁场压缩的认识，极大地制约了MagLIF研究的发展。针对该问题，本项目拟从厚套筒内外表面初始等离子体时空关联性这一新角度，抓住负载电离机理这一核心问题，从内外表面初始等离子体的形成时刻、发展过程和不稳定性结构等典型特征着手，进一步研究负载和电流参数对上述特征的影响规律，并发展描述初始等离子体形成过程的数值模拟代码。通过研究，可深入揭示和掌握百纳秒前沿电流下，厚套筒Z箍缩负载内外表面初始等离子体的行为特征及其形成机理，特别是内表面等离子体的形成条件和外表面等离子体电热不稳定性的发展特征，为推动MagLIF厚套筒Z箍缩负载的发展提供坚实的理论基础和正确的科学依据。

The magnetized liner inertial fusion (MagLIF), which uses the imploding thick liner load to compress the magnetized fusion fuel directly, may achieve new breakthroughs in fusion researches and has been becoming one of hot issues in the Z-pinch area. However, the image on the initial plasma formation from the thick liner is still unclear, which limits the understanding of the instability developments and the axial magnetic field compression in the imploding stage, and greatly restricts the further developments of MagLIF. To solve the problem, the project will be proceeded from a new perspective, the spatio-temporal correlation between the inner and outer initial plasmas, and focus on the core problem, ionization mechanisms of the load. The researches will be carried out in the following order. Firstly, the plasma formation time, evolution dynamics, and the instability structures of the initial plasmas in the inner and outer surface will be obtained. Then, influences of liner and current parameters on the initial plasma dynamics will be investigated. And finally, numerical simulation codes describing the initial plasma formation will be established. Based on the researches above, the typical dynamics and formation mechanisms of the initial plasmas from the inner and outer surface of liner Z-pinch loads are to be revealed, especially the formation conditions of the initial plasmas around the inner surface and the developing characteristics of the electro-thermal instability around the outer surface. These prospective achievements are supposed to provide the proper theory basis and scientific backing for the developments of the MagLIF Z-pinch loads.
