Measurement of short-range correlations in shock-compressed plastic by short-pulse x-ray scattering.
Phys Rev Lett 102:16 (2009) 165004
Abstract:
We have performed short-pulse x-ray scattering measurements on laser-driven shock-compressed plastic samples in the warm dense matter regime, providing instantaneous snapshots of the system evolution. Time-resolved and angularly resolved scattered spectra sensitive to the correlation effects in the plasma show the appearance of short-range order within a few interionic separations. Comparison with radiation-hydrodynamic simulations indicates that the shocked plastic is compressed with a temperature of a few electron volts. These results are important for the understanding of the thermodynamic behavior of strongly correlated matter for conditions relevant to both laboratory astrophysics and inertial confinement fusion research.XUV Opacity of Aluminum between the Cold-Solid to Warm-Plasma Transition

Abstract:
The temporal resolution of existing streak cameras are limited by electron transit time dispersion. Here we present a state-of-art design compensating this to achieve a breakthrough of 100fs time resolution. © 2009 OSA/CLEO/IQEC 2009.Design of a sub 100-femtosecond X-ray streak camera
