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…

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-…

Detection schemes for quantum vacuum diffraction and birefringence
N. Ahmadiniaz, T. E. Cowan, J. Grenzer +6
Motivated by recent experimental initiatives, such as at the Helmholtz International Beamline for Extreme Fields (HIBEF) at the European X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL), we calcul…
