Accurate x-ray scattering techniques to measure the physical properties of dense plasmas
have been developed for applications in high energy density physics. This class of …

This book represents the first comprehensive treatment of the subject, covering the
theoretical principles, present experimental status and important applications of short-pulse …

The characteristics of 22–40 keV K α x-ray sources are measured. These high-energy
sources are produced by 100 TW and petawatt high-intensity lasers and will be used to …

The modeling of petawatt laser-generated hot electrons in mass-limited solid-foil-target
interactions at “relativistic” laser intensities is presented using copper targets and …

Short-pulse, laser-solid interactions provide a unique platform for studying complex high-
energy-density matter. We present the first demonstration of solid-density, micron-scale keV …

A narrowband x ray imager for the Cu K α line at∼ 8 keV using a spherically bent quartz
crystal has been implemented on the OMEGA EP laser at the University of Rochester. The …

The 2D projection phase-contrast imaging performance of the ultrafast laser-based x-ray
(ULX) source has been investigated. The potential of such a novel x-ray source has been …

We present a setup for time-resolved X-ray diffraction based on a short pulse, laser-driven
plasma X-ray source. The employed modular design provides high flexibility to adapt the …

The bremsstrahlung x-ray emission profile from high intensity laser-solid interactions
provides valuable insight to the internal fast electron transport. Using penumbral imaging …

The development of tabletop intense terahertz (THz) radiation sources is extremely
important for THz science and applications. This paper presents our measurements of …
