Experimental observations of microturbulence-suppressed parallel heat conduction in a weakly collisional, high-\b{eta} plasma

T. A. Vincent, P. Ariyathilaka, L. Creaser +16

Classical theories of heat conduction in magnetized plasma predict that thermal transport, mediated by Coulomb collisions of electrons, occurs predominantly along magnetic field li…

Design of experiments characterising heat conduction in magnetised, weakly collisional plasma

T. A. Vincent, P. Ariyathilaka, L. Creaser +15

Heat conduction in weakly collisional, magnetised plasma is challenging to model accurately due to multifaceted physics governing heat-carrying electrons, including microinstabilit…

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…

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…
