A slit grating spectrograph for quantitative soft x-ray spectroscopy
In this article we describe a new slit grating spectrograph which is based on an e-beam written 10 000 linepairs/mm freestanding transmission diffraction grating. In combination with a thinned, back-illuminated charge coupled device ~CCD!, the spectrograph allows for real-time spectroscopy of laser-produced plasma x-ray sources within the wavelength region l51–20 nm. Calibration of grating and ...
متن کاملCompact X-ray sources: X-ray from self-reflection
X-ray has been an important scientific tool ever since its discovery in the 1890s. X-ray used to be generated by synchrotron machines, which are large and expensive devices. However, laser-based particle acceleration offers a way to reduce the size and cost of hard-X-ray sources. Scientists have now developed a simple scheme that produces a bright flash of hard-X-rays by using a single laser pu...
متن کاملX-ray Emission from Compact Sources
This paper presents a review of the physical parameters of neutron stars and black holes that have been derived from X-ray observations. I then explain how these physical parameters can be used to learn about the extreme conditions occurring in regions of strong gravity, and present some recent evidence for relativistic e ects seen in these systems. A glossary of commonly used terms and a short...
متن کاملOptimum driving a Z-pinch for soft X-Ray lasers
A capillary plasma z-pinch as an alternative active medium of soft X-Ray lasers was studied experimentally and theoretically. The theoretical analysis was based on the self consistent solution of the so called “snow plow” model. The dynamics of pinched plasma is determined by the capillary parameters and by the time dependence of electrical current passing through it. The current time dependenc...
متن کاملOn the Universal X-ray Luminosity Function of Binary X-ray Sources in Galaxies
The empirically determined universal power-law shape of X-ray luminosity function of high mass X-ray binaries in galaxies is explained by fundamental mass-luminosity and mass-radius relations for massive stars. The unique possibilities offerred by modern X-ray space observatories Chandra and XMM-Newton make it possible to observe point-like X-ray sources in nearby galaxies which allows studies ...
