Probing laser-driven surface and subsurface dynamics via grazing-incidence XFEL scattering and diffraction
Lisa Randolph, Özgül Öztürk, Dmitriy Ksenzov +34
We demonstrate a grazing-incidence x-ray platform that simultaneously records time-resolved grazing-incidence small-angle x-ray scattering (GISAXS) and grazing-incidence x-ray diff…
A Momentum-Resolved X-ray Thomson Scattering Benchmark of Electronic-Response Models in Warm Dense Aluminium
Dmitrii S. Bespalov, Ulf Zastrau, Zhandos A. Moldabekov +58
The robust diagnosis of conditions generated in warm dense matter (WDM) experiments remains a persistent challenge. Here we describe the measurement of shock-compressed aluminium a…
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…
Probing ultrafast heating and ionization dynamics in solid density plasmas with time-resolved resonant X-ray absorption and emission
Lingen Huang, Mikhail Mishchenko, Michal Šmíd +34
Heating and ionization are among the most fundamental processes in relativistic laser--solid interactions; however, their spatiotemporal evolution remains challenging to capture ex…
Demonstration of full-scale spatio-temporal diagnostics of solid-density plasmas driven by an ultra-short relativistic laser pulse using an X-ray free-electron laser
Lingen Huang, Michal Šmíd, Long Yang +42
Understanding the complex plasma dynamics in ultra-intense relativistic laser-solid interactions is of fundamental importance to the applications of laser plasma-based particle acc…
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…
