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…

Plasma screening in mid-charged ions observed by K-shell line emission

M. Šmıd, O. Humphries, C. Baehtz +24

Dense plasma environment affects the electronic structure of ions via variations of the microscopic electrical fields, also known as plasma screening. This effect can be either est…

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-…

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…
