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…
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…
Effects of Mosaic Crystal Instrument Functions on X-ray Thomson Scattering Diagnostics
Thomas Gawne, Hannah Bellenbaum, Luke B. Fletcher +36
Mosaic crystals, with their high integrated reflectivities, are widely-employed in spectrometers used to diagnose high energy density systems. X-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) has e…
Ultrahigh Resolution X-ray Thomson Scattering Measurements at the European XFEL
Thomas Gawne, Zhandos A. Moldabekov, Oliver S. Humphries +18
Using a novel ultrahigh resolution (eV) setup to measure electronic features in x-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) experiments at the European XFEL in Germany, we have…
Cylindrical compression of thin wires by irradiation with a Joule-class short pulse laser
Alejandro Laso Garcia, Long Yang, Victorien Bouffetier +14
Equation of state measurements at Jovian or stellar conditions are currently conducted by dynamic shock compression driven by multi-kilojoule multi-beam nanosecond-duration lasers.…
Visualizing Plasmons and Ultrafast Kinetic Instabilities in Laser-Driven Solids using X-ray Scattering
Paweł Ordyna, Carsten Bähtz, Erik Brambrink +27
Ultra-intense lasers that ionize and accelerate electrons in solids to near the speed of light can lead to kinetic instabilities that alter the laser absorption and subsequent elec…
Investigating Mechanisms of State Localization in Highly-Ionized Dense Plasmas
Thomas Gawne, Thomas Campbell, Alessandro Forte +14
We present the first experimental observation of K emission from highly charged Mg ions at solid density, driven by intense x-rays from a free electron laser. The presence of K…
