Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of the opacity of hot, dense aluminum in the region of its K edge
TL;DR: In this paper, point projection spectroscopy was used to perform opacity measurements on hot, dense plasmas generated by using the x rays emitted from a laser-produced gold plasma to heat an aluminum sample.
Journal ArticleDOI
Absorption experiments on x-ray-heated mid-Z constrained samples.
Ted Perry,P. T. Springer,D. F. Fields,D. R. Bach,F. J. D. Serduke,Carlos A. Iglesias,Forrest J. Rogers,J. K. Nash,M. H. Chen,Brian G. Wilson,William H. Goldstein,B. Rozsynai,R. A. Ward,J. D. Kilkenny,R. Doyas,L. B. Da Silva,Christina Back,R. C. Cauble,S. J. Davidson,John Foster,C.C. Smith,A. Bar-Shalom,Richard W. Lee +22 more
TL;DR: Results of a niobium absorption experiment are presented that represent a major step in the development of techniques necessary for the quantitative characterization of hot, dense matter.
Journal ArticleDOI
L-shell absorption spectrum of an open-M-shell germanium plasma: Comparison of experimental data with a detailed configuration-accounting calculation.
John Foster,D.J. Hoarty,C.C. Smith,Paula Rosen,S. J. Davidson,S. J. Rose,Ted Perry,F. J. D. Serduke +7 more
TL;DR: The radiative opacity of a near local thermodynamic equilibrium, open-M-shell Ge plasma has been measured and is compared for the first time with the results of a detailed configurafion-accounting calculation which includes an approximate treatment of term widths.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid heating of solid density material by a petawatt laser
Roger Evans,Edward B. Clark,R. T. Eagleton,A. M. Dunne,R.D. Edwards,W. J. Garbett,T.J. Goldsack,S.F. James,C.C. Smith,B. R. Thomas,Robert Clarke,David Neely,S. J. Rose +12 more
TL;DR: In this article, time-resolved x-ray spectra from solid targets irradiated by the VULCAN Petawatt laser focused to 1020Wcm−2 show that material at solid density is heated to temperatures above 500 eV to a depth of about 15 μm and for a duration of more than 30 ps.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative measurement of mid-z opacities
Ted Perry,Kimberly S. Budil,R. Cauble,R. A. Ward,D. R. Bach,Carlos A. Iglesias,Brian G. Wilson,J.K. Nash,C.C. Smith,John Foster,S.J. Davidson,F. J. D. Serduke,J. D. Kilkenny,Richard W. Lee +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a general discussion of the experimental technique is given showing the requirements that must be met in order to extract quantitative transmission data and the resulting spectrally resolved absorption measurements can then be used to test the capabilities of LTE opacity codes.
