Abstract
This paper shows with the help of two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations that it may be possible to achieve theoretically predicted physical conditions required for hydrogen metallization in heavy ion imploded multi-layered cylindrical targets. These include a density of about 1g/cm3, a pressure of 2-5Mbar and a temperature of a few 0.1eV in the compressed hydrogen sample. In this study an intense uranium beam consisting of 1012 ions having a particle energy of 400 MeV/u is considered. The ions are delivered in a single bunch that has a length of 50ns. These beam parameters are the design parameters for the future 200Tm synchrotron facility, SIS-200, that will be constructed at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI), Darmstadt.
