Temperature Equilibration Due to Charge State Fluctuations in Dense Plasmas
R. A. Baggott, S. J. Rose, S. P. D. Mangles
The charge states of ions in dense plasmas fluctuate due to collisional ionization and recombination. Here we show how, by modifying the ion interaction potential, these fluctuatio…

Calculating Opacity in Hot, Dense Matter using Second-Order Electron-Photon and Two-Photon Transitions to Approximate Line Broadening
R. A. Baggott, S. J. Rose, S. P. D. Mangles
Calculations of the opacity of hot, dense matter require models for plasma line broadening. However, the most general theories are too complex to calculate directly and some approx…

Single-shot multi-keV X-ray absorption spectroscopy using an ultrashort laser wakefield accelerator source
B. Kettle, E. Gerstmayr, M. J. V. Streeter +19
Single-shot absorption measurements have been performed using the multi-keV X-rays generated by a laser wakefield accelerator. A 200 TW laser was used to drive a laser wakefield ac…
