The interaction of fast beam of proton impinging on a plasma target is treated theoretically, since in general the number density of the beam ions nb is much smaller than the electron density ne of the plasma target. The interaction between proton clusters (collective and individual) with plasma gas is evaluated using the dielectric dispersion function Vlasove formalism both for single and correlated protons.In present work interaction clusters for proton on three different systems (tokamak, Z-pinch and inertial confinement fusion (ICF)) were used at different thermal energy (1000, 20 and 300) (a.u) and densities of proton (1013, 1018 and 3x1022) cm-3 at three velocities (1,7.5 and 35) a.u. to study the effect of these parameters. Found that collective excitations give a small contribution to the energy loss of single ions, We obtain the best beams of the protons in the system (ICF) and at high rates (0,0.2,0.4,0.6) increase with increasing density. This gives a good beam of plasma proton use in different applications such as metal alloying, surface treatment, implantation, surface analysis, sputtering, determination of geometrical structures of polyatomic ions in addition give information about a variety of atomic-collision phenomena.

X-ray spectroscopy provides a variety of means for studying the interaction of lasers with plasmas, in particular the interaction with imploding targets in inertial confinement fusion. A typical fusion target is composed of materials other than the thermonuclear fuel which play a variety of roles (tamping, shielding, thermal isolation, etc.). These structural elements emit characteristic X-ray lines and continua, and through their spectral and spatial distributions can yield very valuable information on the interaction and implosion dynamics. Examples are the study of heat conductivity, the mixing of different target layers, and the determination of temperature and density at the compressed target core. Results will be shown for electron densities N e = 10 24 cm -3 and temperatures T = 1 keV measured during compression of argon-filled targets with a six-beam laser of peak power 2 TW.
