Development of slurry targets for high repetition-rate XFEL experiments

Raymond F. Smith, Vinay Rastogi, Amy E. Lazicki +26

Combining an x-ray free electron laser (XFEL) with high power laser drivers enables the study of phase transitions, equation-of-state, grain growth, strength, and transformation pa…

Silicate Melting and Vaporization during Rocky Planet Formation

Erik J. Davies, Phil J. Carter, Seth Root +4

Collisions that induce melting and vaporization can have a substantial effect on the thermal and geochemical evolution of planets. However, the thermodynamics of major minerals are…

The Shock Physics of Giant Impacts: Key Requirements for the Equations of State

Sarah T. Stewart, Erik J. Davies, Megan S. Duncan +6

We discuss major challenges in modeling giant impacts between planetary bodies, focusing on the equations of state (EOS). During the giant impact stage of planet formation, rocky p…

Non-Iterative Characteristics Analysis for Ramp Loading with a Window

Damian C. Swift, Dayne E. Fratanduono, Evan A. Dowling +1

Ramp compression experiment are used to deduce the relation between compression and normal stress in a material, by measuring how a compression wave evolves as it propagates throug…

Non-Iterative Characteristics Analysis for High-Pressure Ramp Loading

Damian C. Swift, Dayne E. Fratanduono, Richard G. Kraus +1

In the canonical ramp compression experiment, a smoothly-increasing load is applied to the surface of the sample, and the particle velocity history is measured at two or more diffe…
