Probing laser-driven surface and subsurface dynamics via grazing-incidence XFEL scattering and diffraction
Lisa Randolph, Ãzgül Ãztürk, 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…

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…
