Intense particle beams lead to volumetric heating of solid targets that generates large samples of High Energy Density (HED) matter. Such samples are very suitable to study the thermophysical properties of this important state of matter that spans over numerous fields of basic and applied physics. Facility for Antiprotons and Ion Research (FAIR) at Darmstadt, will generate very powerful bunched beams of the heaviest particles (uranium) that will deposit unprecedented high levels of specific power in the target. Extensive theoretical work has been carried out over the past decade to design HED physics experiments at the FAIR. So far, four different experimental schemes have been proposed. These include, HIHEX (Heavy Ion Heating and Expansion, which is suitable to study equation-of-state properties of HED matter), LAPLAS (Laboratory Planetary Science, which is suitable to generate physical conditions that exist in the interiors of the giant planets), Study of the growth of the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability and finally , the ion beam driven Ramp Compression which is suitable to study material properties like shear modulus and yield strength, under dynamic conditions.

Safety of the personnel and the equipment is an issue of great concern when operating with mighty particle beams like the ones generated by the LHC. Any uncontrolled release of even a very small fraction of the beam energy could cause considerable damage to the equipment. A worst case scenario is in which the entire beam is lost at a single point. Over the past years, we have carried out extensive numerical simulations to assess the consequences of an accident of this magnitude. We have simulated the thermodynamic and the hydrodynamic response of cylindrical targets made of solid copper and solid graphite, respectively, that are facially irradiated with one LHC beam. Our simulations show that the 7 TeV/c LHC protons will penetrate up to about 35 m in solid copper and about 10 m in solid graphite during the 89 μs beam duration time. In both cases, the target is severely damaged and a substantial part of the target is converted into High Energy Density Matter state.
