L-shell X-ray conversion yields for laser-irradiated tin and silver foils
R. L. Singh, S. White, M. Charlwood +10
We have employed the VULCAN laser facility to generate a laser plasma X-ray source for use in photoionisation experiments. A nanosecond laser pulse with an intensity of order ${10}…

Real-time Electron Solvation Induced by Bursts of Laser-accelerated Protons in Liquid Water
A. Prasselsperger, M. Coughlan, N. Breslin +11
Understanding the mechanisms of proton energy deposition in matter and subsequent damage formation is fundamental to radiation science. Here we exploit the picosecond (10^-12 s) re…

Production of photoionized plasmas in the laboratory using X-ray line radiation
S White, R Irwin, R Warwick +10
In this paper we report the experimental implementation of a theoretically-proposed technique for creating a photoionized plasma in the laboratory using X-ray line radiation. Using…
