X-ray thermal diffuse scattering as a texture-robust temperature diagnostic for dynamically compressed solids

P. G. Heighway, D. J. Peake, T. Stevens +119

We present a model of x-ray thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) from a cubic polycrystal with an arbitrary crystallographic texture, based on the classic approach of Warren. We compar…

Characterization of the CMS Endcap Timing Layer readout chip prototype with charge injection

H. Sun, D. Gong, W. Zhang +10

We present the characterization of a readout Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) for the CMS Endcap Timing Layer (ETL) of the High-Luminosity LHC upgrade with charge inj…

Femtosecond temperature measurements of laser-shocked copper deduced from the intensity of the x-ray thermal diffuse scattering

J. S. Wark, D. J. Peake, T. Stevens +122

We present 50-fs, single-shot measurements of the x-ray thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) from copper foils that have been shocked via nanosecond laser-ablation up to pressures abov…

An FPGA-based readout chip emulator for the CMS ETL detector upgrade

L. Zhang, C. Edwards, D. Gong +9

We present an FPGA-based readout chip emulator board for the CMS Endcap Timing Layer (ETL) detector upgrade. The emulator board uses an Intel Cyclone 10 GX FPGA to emulate the digi…

Gridded RF Gun Design for SRF Linac Applications

I. Gonin, C. Edwards, S. Kazakov +8

The thermionic gridded gun is described which generates short electron bunches for further acceleration in a Nb3Sn conduction cooled SRF linac. The gun is built into the first cavi…
