Probing ultrafast heating and ionization dynamics in solid density plasmas with time-resolved resonant X-ray absorption and emission
Lingen Huang, Mikhail Mishchenko, Michal Å mÃd +34
Heating and ionization are among the most fundamental processes in relativistic laser--solid interactions; however, their spatiotemporal evolution remains challenging to capture ex…
XFEL Imaging Techniques for High Energy Density and Inertial Fusion Energy Research at HED-HiBEF
Alejandro Laso Garcia, Mikhail Mishchenko, Victorien Bouffetier +53
The imaging platform developed at the High Energy Density - Helmholtz International Beamline for Extreme Fields (HED-HiBEF) instrument at the European XFEL and its applications to…
Enhancing Neutron Measurement Accuracy with Bubble Detectors at Laser-Driven Neutron Sources
Stefan Scheuren, Maria Angeles Millán-Callado, Jonas Kohl +9
Bubble detectors are widely used to measure neutron flux from laser-driven sources employing a pitcher-catcher setup, due to their insensitivity to intense -ray backgrounds and…
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-…
Single-event neutron time-of-flight spectroscopy with a petawatt-laser-driven neutron source
M. A. Millán-Callado, S. Scheuren, A. Alejo +22
Fast neutron-induced nuclear reactions are crucial for advancing our understanding of fundamental nuclear processes, stellar nucleosynthesis, and applications, including reactor sa…
Demonstration of full-scale spatio-temporal diagnostics of solid-density plasmas driven by an ultra-short relativistic laser pulse using an X-ray free-electron laser
Lingen Huang, Michal Å mÃd, Long Yang +42
Understanding the complex plasma dynamics in ultra-intense relativistic laser-solid interactions is of fundamental importance to the applications of laser plasma-based particle acc…
