Exploring relaxation dynamics in warm dense plasmas by tailoring non-thermal electron distributions with a free electron laser
Yuanfeng Shi, Shenyuan Ren, Hyun-kyung Chung +2
Knowing the characteristic relaxation time of free electrons in a dense plasma is crucial to our understanding of plasma equilibration and transport. However, experimental investig…
Quantifying ionization in hot dense plasmas
Thomas Gawne, Sam M. Vinko, Justin S. Wark
Ionization is a problematic quantity in that it does not have a well-defined thermodynamic definition, yet it is a key parameter within plasma modelling. One still therefore aims t…
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…
Simulations of Collisional Effects in an Inner-Shell Solid-Density Mg X-Ray Laser
Shenyuan Ren, Sam Vinko, Justin S. Wark
Inner-shell K x-ray lasers have been created by pumping gaseous, solid, and liquid targets with the intense x-ray output of free-electron-lasers (FELs). For gaseous targets lasi…
Non-thermal evolution of dense plasmas driven by intense x-ray fields
Shenyuan Ren, Yuanfeng Shi, Quincy Y. van den Berg +6
The advent of x-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) has enabled a range of new experimental investigations into the properties of matter driven to extreme conditions via intense x-ray…
Time-resolved XUV Opacity Measurements of Warm-Dense Aluminium
S. M. Vinko, V. Vozda, J. Andreasson +20
The free-free opacity in plasmas is fundamental to our understanding of energy transport in stellar interiors and for inertial confinement fusion research. However, theoretical pre…
