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…
Radionuclide Production for Dose Verification in VHEE FLASH Radiotherapy
Francesco Urso, Federica Baffigi, Esther Ciarrocchi +7
This study explores the production of radionuclides in a PMMA (Polymethylmethacrylate) phantom irradiated with Very High Energy Electrons (VHEE) beams as a novel method for dose ve…
Femtosecond temperature measurements of laser-shocked copper deduced from the intensity of the x-ray thermal diffuse scattering
J. S. Wark, D. J. Peake, T. Stevens +122
We present 50-fs, single-shot measurements of the x-ray thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) from copper foils that have been shocked via nanosecond laser-ablation up to pressures abov…
Observation and modelling of Stimulated Raman Scattering driven by an optically smoothed laser beam in experimental conditions relevant for Shock Ignition
G. Cristoforetti, S. Huller, P. Koester +20
We report results and modelling of an experiment performed at the TAW Vulcan laser facility, aimed at investigating laser-plasma interaction in conditions which are of interest for…
Enhanced laser-driven proton acceleration via improved fast electron heating in a controlled pre-plasma
L. A. Gizzi, E. Boella, L. Labate +10
The interaction of ultraintense laser pulses with solids is largely affected by the plasma gradient at the vacuum-solid interface, which modifies the absorption and ultimately, con…
Light Ion Accelerating Line (L3IA): Test Experiment at ILIL-PW
L. A. Gizzi, F. Baffigi, F. Brandi +11
The construction of a novel Laser driven Light Ions Acceleration Line(L3IA) is progressing rapidly towards the operation, following the recent upgrade of the ILIL-PW laser facility…
