Strong geometry dependence of the X-ray Thomson Scattering Spectrum in single crystal silicon
Thomas Gawne, Zhandos A. Moldabekov, Oliver S. Humphries +17
We report on results from an experiment at the European XFEL where we measured the x-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) spectrum of single crystal silicon with ultrahigh resolution. Com…

Shake-off in XFEL heated solid density plasma
G. O. Williams, L. Ansia, M. Makita +25
In atoms undergoing ionisation, an abrupt re-arrangement of free and bound electrons can lead to the ejection of another bound electron (shake-off). The spectroscopic signatures of…

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…
