Strong geometry dependence of the X-ray Thomson Scattering Spectrum in single crystal silicon
Thomas Gawne, Zhandos A. Moldabekov, Oliver S. Humphries +17
We report on results from an experiment at the European XFEL where we measured the x-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) spectrum of single crystal silicon with ultrahigh resolution. Com…
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…
Methods for energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy with photon-counting and deconvolution techniques
Alessandro Forte, Thomas Gawne, Oliver S. Humphries +3
Spectroscopic techniques are essential for studying material properties, but the small cross-sections of some methods may result in low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) in the collect…
Cylindrical compression of thin wires by irradiation with a Joule-class short pulse laser
Alejandro Laso Garcia, Long Yang, Victorien Bouffetier +14
Equation of state measurements at Jovian or stellar conditions are currently conducted by dynamic shock compression driven by multi-kilojoule multi-beam nanosecond-duration lasers.…
Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering in warm-dense Fe compounds beyond the SASE FEL resolution limit
Alessandro Forte, Thomas Gawne, Karim K. Alaa El-Din +19
Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) is a widely used spectroscopic technique, providing access to the electronic structure and dynamics of atoms, molecules, and solids. Howe…
