Interplay of thermal and non-thermal effects in x-ray-induced ultrafast melting
Ichiro Inoue, Victor Tkachenko, Yuya Kubota +15
X-ray laser-induced structural changes in silicon undergoing femtosecond melting have been investigated by using an x-ray pump-x-ray probe technique. The experimental results for d…
Probing the dynamics of solid density micro-wire targets after ultra-intense laser irradiation using a free-electron laser
Thomas Kluge, Michael Bussmann, Eric Galtier +22
In this paper, we present an experiment that explores the plasma dynamics of a 7 micron diameter carbon wire after being irradiated with a near-relativistic-intensity short pulse l…
Investigating Mechanisms of State Localization in Highly-Ionized Dense Plasmas
Thomas Gawne, Thomas Campbell, Alessandro Forte +14
We present the first experimental observation of K emission from highly charged Mg ions at solid density, driven by intense x-rays from a free electron laser. The presence of K…
Development of slurry targets for high repetition-rate XFEL experiments
Raymond F. Smith, Vinay Rastogi, Amy E. Lazicki +26
Combining an x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) with high power laser drivers enables the study of phase transitions, equation-of-state, grain growth, strength, and transformation pa…
Probing ultrafast laser plasma processes inside solids with resonant small-angle X-ray scattering
Lennart Gaus, Lothar Bischoff, Michael Bussmann +33
Extreme states of matter exist throughout the universe e.g. inside planetary cores, stars or astrophysical jets. Such conditions are generated in the laboratory in the interaction…
Impact of free electron degeneracy on collisional rates in plasmas
Gareth O. Williams, H. -K. Chung, S. Künzel +19
Degenerate plasmas, in which quantum effects dictate the behavior of free electrons, are ubiquitous on earth and throughout space. Transitions between bound and free electron state…
Observation of a metastable intermediate during solid-solid phase transformation in response to rapid compression
Michael R. Armstrong, Harry B. Radousky, Ryan A. Austin +23
In order to probe the mechanism of solid-solid phase transformations, we have applied ultrafast shock wave compression (120 picosecond duration) and ultrashort (130 femtosecond) x-…
Observation of ultrafast solid-density plasma dynamics using femtosecond X-ray pulses from a free-electron laser
Thomas Kluge, Melanie Rödel, Josefine Metzkes +23
The complex physics of the interaction between short pulse high intensity lasers and solids is so far hardly accessible by experiments. As a result of missing experimental capabili…
The Phase-Contrast Imaging Instrument at the Matter in Extreme Conditions Endstation at LCLS
Bob Nagler, Andreas Schropp, Eric C. Galtier +13
We describe the Phase-Contrast Imaging instrument at the Matter in Extreme Conditions (MEC) endstation of the Linac Coherent Light Source. The instrument can image phenomena with a…
Bent crystal spectrometer for both frequency and wavenumber resolved x-ray scattering at a seeded free-electron laser
Ulf Zastrau, Luke B. Fletcher, Eckhart Foerster +9
We present a cylindrically curved GaAs x-ray spectrometer with energy resolution and wave-number resolution of , allowing plasmon s…
