Shielded radiography with a laser-driven MeV-energy X-ray source
We report the results of experimental and numerical-simulation studies of shielded radiography using narrowband MeVenergy X-rays from a compact all-laser-driven inverse-Compton-scattering X-ray light source. This recently developed Xray light source is based on a laser-wakefield accelerator with ultra-high-field gradient (GeV/cm). We demonstrate experimentally high-quality radiographic imaging ...
متن کاملPlasma-density determination from x-ray radiography of laser-driven spherical implosions.
The fuel layer density of an imploding laser-driven spherical shell is inferred from framed x-ray radiographs. The density distribution is determined by using Abel inversion to compute the radial distribution of the opacity kappa from the observed optical depth tau. With the additional assumption of the mass of the remaining fuel, the absolute density distribution is determined. This is demonst...
متن کاملSimulation of laser-driven x-ray backlighter
One of applications proposed for PHELIX is ignition of hot laser sparks for x-ray shadowgraphy and K-shell absorption spectroscopy of heavy-ion-beam targets [1]. In 2004 we started numerical simulation and optimization of laserdriven x-ray backlighter. An emphasis of this study is on efficiency of conversion of the laser pulse energy into hard x-rays. Here we present the computational tools and...
متن کاملAll-laser-driven Thomson X-ray sources
We discuss the development of a new generation of accelerator-based hard X-ray sources driven exclusively by laser light. High-intensity laser pulses serve the dual roles: first, accelerating electrons by laser-driven plasma wakefields, and second, generating X-rays by inverse Compton scattering. Such all-laser-driven X-rays have recently been demonstrated to be energetic, tunable, relatively n...
متن کاملLaser-cluster interaction: x-ray production by short laser pulses.
We investigate the heating of the quasifree electrons in large rare-gas clusters (N exceeding 10(5) atoms) by short laser pulses at moderate intensities (I approximately = 10(15) W cm(-2)). We identify elastic large-angle backscattering of electrons at ionic cores in the presence of a laser field as an efficient heating mechanism. Its efficiency as well as the effect of collective electron moti...
