Abstract |
4th generation light sources, such as the LCLS, have the ability to emit hard X-rays with a pulse length of less than 100 fs and a brilliance of 1031-32 ph/sec/mrad/cm2/0.1% BW. These extremely brilliant, short pulses allow one to collect high-quality diffraction patterns in a single pulse, and hence are ideal to combine with nanosecond dynamic compression techniques to make detailed diffraction studies of highly-compressed matter at extreme conditions. The Matter at Extreme Conditions (MEC) beamline currently online at LCLS, SLAC, and the High Energy Density (HED) instrument due to come online at the European XFEL in 2016, utilise high-power, long- and short-pulse lasers to access extreme solid and plasma states. https://conf-slac.stanford.edu/ssrl-lcls-2013/sites/conf-slac.stanford.e... |
