Advanced X-ray spectroscopic methods provide unique and critical data to study matter
under extreme environmental conditions induced by high-intensity and high-energy lasers …

The paper describes the preparation of the short-pulse high-energy laser PETawatt
Aquitaine Laser (PETAL), which will be coupled to the Laser Megajoule (LMJ) laser of CEA …

We present the development of an experimental platform that can collect four frames of x-ray
diffraction data along a single line of sight during laser-driven, dynamic-compression …

We present experimental and numerical results on intense-laser-pulse-produced fast
electron beams transport through aluminum samples, either solid or compressed and …

We describe a pair of time-integrated transmission spectrometers that are designed to
survey 7–28 keV (1.9 to 0.43 Å) x-ray photons produced by experiments on the Sandia Z …

Laser heated plasmas have provided recently some of the most powerful and energetic
nanosecond length laboratory sources of x-ray photons (E photon= 1–30 keV). The highest x …

Energy loss in the transport of a beam of relativistic electrons in warm dense aluminum is
measured in the regime of ultrahigh electron beam current density over 2× 10 11 A/cm 2 …

Large quantities of ultrahigh-energy x-rays are produced by petawatt-class lasers; however,
spectroscopy in this range of 0.1-1 MeV is difficult due to the long photon mean free path. A …

We report on the performance of high x-ray fluence Kr K-shell sources that are being
developed for high energy density experiments. These targets are 4.1 mm in diameter 4.4 …

Point-like sources of X-rays that are pulsed (sub nanosecond), high energy (up to several
MeV) and bright are very promising for industrial and security applications where imaging …
