Measurement of x-ray pulse widths by intensity interferometry.

چکیده
The pulse width of hard undulator radiation (32 ps width, energy 14 keV) was determined by intensity interferometry. The method, in combination with various x-ray monochromators, enables measurements to be taken over a wide range of time frames, from ns to fs. The applicable target includes measurements of ultrafast x-ray pulse widths from fourth generation synchrotron light sources.

Unfolding X-ray spectrum in the diagnostic range using the Monte Carlo Code MCNP5
Introduction: Unfolding X-ray spectrum is a powerful tool for quality control of X-ray tubes. Generally, the acquisition of the X-ray spectrum in diagnostic radiology departments is complicated and difficult due to high photon flux. Measurement of x ray spectra using radiation detectors could not be performed accurately, because of the pulse pile up. Therefore, indirect methods...
متن کاملSignal-to-Noise Ratio of Intensity Interferometry Experiments with Highly Asymmetric X-ray Sources
We discuss the signal-to-noise ratio of an intensity interferometry experiment for a highly asymmetric x-ray source using different aperture shapes in front of the photodetectors. It is argued that, under ideal conditions using noiseless detectors and electronics, the use of slitshaped apertures, whose widths are smaller but whose lengths are much greater than the transverse coherence widths of...
متن کاملAttosecond Hard X-Ray Scattering Spectroscopy
Synopsis We formulate an analytic, semi-relativistic theory of laser-assisted attosecond Compton scattering by a weakly bound electron. We (i) present the evidence of the feasibility of measuring the ground-state electron momentum density in the attosecond regime and (ii) investigate the attosecond Compton streak camera and spectral phase interferometry proposing two new methods of measuring th...
متن کاملMeasurement of Bunch Length Using Intensity Interferometry
Abstract Intensity interferometry is one of the most conventional methods for measuring the length of a short light pulse (from ps to sub-ps). We attempted to apply this method to the measurement of bunch length at the Photon Factory. We tested both the second-harmonic autocorrelation method and the two-photon interference method. With both methods, we observed the autocorrelation signal of the...

Recent experiments at KMS have been performed to investigate parameter variations of target component thickness, laser pulse duration and intensity, and one-sided vs two-sided irradiation in order to optimize the performance of the Livermore exploding foil selenium x-ray laser experiments. Preliminary experiments with selenium double foil targets were also conducted as a means of prolonging the...
