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…
Orientational Effects in the Low Pair Continuum of Aluminium
Thomas Gawne, Zhandos A Moldabekov, Oliver S Humphries +6
We compare the predictions of the dynamic structure factor (DSF) of ambient polycrystalline aluminium from time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) in the pair continuum re…
The Darkfield Approach to Measuring Vacuum Birefringence and Light-by-Light Couplings -- A Proof-of-Principle Experiment
Michal SmÃd, Pooyan Khademi, Carsten Bähtz +29
Vacuum fluctuations give rise to effective nonlinear interactions between electromagnetic fields. These generically modify the characteristics of light traversing a strong-field re…
High-Quality Ultra-Fast Total Scattering and Pair Distribution Function Data using an X-ray Free Electron Laser
Adam F. Sapnik, Philip A. Chater, Dean S. Keeble +48
High-quality total scattering data, a key tool for understanding atomic-scale structure in disordered materials, require stable instrumentation and access to high momentum transfer…
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…
Strong geometry dependence of the X-ray Thomson Scattering Spectrum in single crystal silicon
Thomas Gawne, Zhandos A. Moldabekov, Oliver S. Humphries +17
We report on results from an experiment at the European XFEL where we measured the x-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) spectrum of single crystal silicon with ultrahigh resolution. Com…
