Microscopy X-ray Imaging enriched with Small Angle X-ray Scattering for few nanometer resolution reveals shock waves and compression in intense short pulse laser irradiation of solids

Thomas Kluge, Arthur Hirsch-Passicos, Jannis Schulz +23

Understanding how laser pulses compress solids into high-energy-density states requires diagnostics that simultaneously resolve macroscopic geometry and nanometer-scale structure.…

The Darkfield Approach to Measuring Vacuum Birefringence and Light-by-Light Couplings -- A Proof-of-Principle Experiment

Michal Smíd, Pooyan Khademi, Carsten Bähtz +29

Vacuum fluctuations give rise to effective nonlinear interactions between electromagnetic fields. These generically modify the characteristics of light traversing a strong-field re…

Letter of Intent: Towards a Vacuum Birefringence Experiment at the Helmholtz International Beamline for Extreme Fields

N. Ahmadiniaz, C. Bähtz, A. Benediktovitch +49

Quantum field theory predicts a nonlinear response of the vacuum to strong electromagnetic fields of macroscopic extent. This fundamental tenet has remained experimentally challeng…

Visualizing Plasmons and Ultrafast Kinetic Instabilities in Laser-Driven Solids using X-ray Scattering

Paweł Ordyna, Carsten Bähtz, Erik Brambrink +27

Ultra-intense lasers that ionize and accelerate electrons in solids to near the speed of light can lead to kinetic instabilities that alter the laser absorption and subsequent elec…

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…

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…
