XFEL Imaging Techniques for High Energy Density and Inertial Fusion Energy Research at HED-HiBEF
Alejandro Laso Garcia, Mikhail Mishchenko, Victorien Bouffetier +53
The imaging platform developed at the High Energy Density - Helmholtz International Beamline for Extreme Fields (HED-HiBEF) instrument at the European XFEL and its applications to…
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…
Scaling of thin wire cylindrical compression after 100 fs Joule surface heating with material, diameter and laser energy
L. Yang, M. -L. Herbert, C. Bähtz +32
We present the first systematic experimental validation of return-current-driven implosion scaling in micrometer-sized wires irradiated by femtosecond laser pulses. Employing XFEL-…
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…
The importance of temperature-dependent collision frequency in PIC simulation on nanometric density evolution of highly-collisional strongly-coupled dense plasmas
Mohammadreza Banjafar, Lisa Randolph, Lingen Huang +17
Particle-in-Cell (PIC) method is a powerful plasma simulation tool for investigating high-intensity femtosecond laser-matter interaction. However, its simulation capability at high…
