Thomson scattering from a shock front
We have obtained a Thomson scattering spectrum in the collective regime by scattering a probe beam from a shock front, in an experiment conducted at the Omega laser at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics. The probe beam was created by frequency converting a beamline at Omega to a 2 ns pulse of 0.263 m light, focused with a dedicated optical focusing system. The diagnostic system included collec...
متن کاملThomson scattering from a three-component plasma.
A model for a three-component plasma consisting of two distinct ionic species and electrons is developed and applied to study x-ray Thomson scattering. Ions of a specific type are assumed to be identical and are treated in the average-atom approximation. Given the plasma temperature and density, the model predicts mass densities, effective ionic charges, and cell volumes for each ionic type, to...
متن کاملThomson Scattering from Warm Dense Matter
The dynamic structure function for Thomson scattering of x-rays by warm dense matter is evaluated within the average-atom framework. Contributions to the dynamic-structure function from elastic scattering by ions and from inelastic scattering by free and bound electrons are considered. Each contribution is evaluated using input parameters obtained from the averageatom model. Bound-state feature...
متن کاملNonlinear Thomson scattering: A tutorial
Recent advances in table-top, ultrahigh intensity lasers have led to significant renewed interest in the classic problem of Thomson scattering. An important current application of these scattering processes is the generation of ultrashort-pulse-duration x rays. In this tutorial, the classical theory of nonlinear Thomson scattering of an electron in an intense laser field is presented. It is fou...
متن کاملThomson scattering on inhomogeneous targets.
The introduction of brilliant free-electron lasers enables new pump-probe experiments to characterize warm dense matter states. For instance, a short-pulse optical laser irradiates a liquid hydrogen jet that is subsequently probed with brilliant soft x-ray radiation. The strongly inhomogeneous plasma prepared by the optical laser is characterized with particle-in-cell simulations. The interacti...
