X-ray thermal diffuse scattering as a texture-robust temperature diagnostic for dynamically compressed solids

P. G. Heighway, D. J. Peake, T. Stevens +119

We present a model of x-ray thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) from a cubic polycrystal with an arbitrary crystallographic texture, based on the classic approach of Warren. We compar…

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…

Laser-driven shock compression and equation of state of FeO up to 700 GPa

Alexis Amouretti, Marion Harmand, Bruno Albertazzi +7

We report here the first equation of state measurements of FeO obtained with laser-driven shock compression. The data are in excellent agreement with previous dynamic and s…

Transonic Dislocation Propagation in Diamond

Kento Katagiri, Tatiana Pikuz, Lichao Fang +24

The motion of line defects (dislocations) has been studied for over 60 years but the maximum speed at which they can move is unresolved. Recent models and atomistic simulations pre…

Direct imaging of shock wave splitting in diamond at Mbar pressures

S. S. Makarov, S. A. Dyachkov, T. A. Pikuz +19

The propagation of a shock wave in solids can stress them to ultra-high pressures of millions of atmospheres. Understanding the behavior of matter at these extreme pressures is ess…

A cylindrical implosion platform for the study of highly magnetized plasmas at LMJ

G. Pérez-Callejo, C. Vlachos, C. A. Walsh +27

Investigating the potential benefits of the use of magnetic fields in Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) experiments has given rise to new experimental platforms like the Magnetized…

Laser astrophysics experiment on the amplification of magnetic fields by shock-induced interfacial instabilities

Takayoshi Sano, Shohei Tamatani, Kazuki Matsuo +19

Laser experiments are becoming established as a new tool for astronomical research that complements observations and theoretical modeling. Localized strong magnetic fields have bee…

Laboratory radiative accretion shocks on GEKKO XII laser facility for POLAR project

L. Van Box Som, E. Falize, M. Koenig +20

A new target design is presented to model high-energy radiative accretion shocks in polars. In this paper, we present the experimental results obtained on the GEKKO XII laser facil…

Buffered spectrally-peaked proton beams in the relativistic-transparency regime

N. P. Dover, M. J. V. Streeter, C. A. J. Palmer +23

Spectrally-peaked proton beams ( MeV, MeV) have been observed from the interaction of an intense laser ( Wcm) with ultrathin CH foi…

Astrophysics of magnetically collimated jets generated from laser-produced plasmas

A. Ciardi, T. Vinci, J. Fuchs +4

The generation of astrophysically relevant jets, from magnetically collimated, laser-produced plasmas, is investigated through three-dimensional, magneto-hydrodynamic simulations.…
