Tungsten L Transition Line Shapes and Energy Shifts Resulting from Ionization in Warm Dense Matter

April 18, 2013
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, John F. Seely, Bruce V. Weber, D. G. Phipps, Nino R. Pereira, D Mosher, K. Slabkowska, M. Polasik, J Rzadkiewicz, S Hansen, Uri Feldman, Joseph W. Schumer
High resolution spectra of the W L transitions in the energy range 8 keV to 12 keV from warm dense plasmas generated by the Naval Research Laboratory’s Gamble III pulsed power machine were recorded by a transmission-crystal x-ray spectrometer with ± 2 eV

Reply to Comment on "Testing Three-body Quantum Electrodynamics with Trapped Ti20+ Ions: Evidence for a Z-Dependent Divergence between Experiment and Calculation"

Lawrence T. Hudson, C T. Chantler, M N. Kinnane, John D. Gillaspy, A.T. Payne, L F. Smale, Albert Henins, Joshua M. Pomeroy, J A. Kimpton, E Takacs, K Makonyi
We find that Epp’s [1] hypothesis - namely that the current experimental data set is well represented by a small constant or zero offset from the predictions of Artemyev et al. [2] - is not supported by standard statistical analysis. We find that adding

Testing Three-body Quantum Electrodynamics with Trapped Ti-20 Ions: Evidence for a Z-Dependent Divergence between Experiment and Calculation

We report the measurement of the w (1s2p 1P1 ! 1s2 1S0) resonance line transition energy in helium-like titanium. Our result, 4749.85(7) eV, deviates from the most recent ab initio prediction by three times our experimental uncertainty and by many times

Measurements and Standards for Bulk-Explosive Detection

May 31, 2012

Lawrence T. Hudson, Fred B. Bateman, Paul M. Bergstrom, Frank Cerra, Jack L. Glover, Ronaldo Minniti, Stephen M. Seltzer, Ronald E. Tosh
Due to the ease of assembly and leveraged disruptive effect, the improvised explosive device (IED) is the method of choice of today’s terrorist. With more than ten thousand IED incidents annually, and global expenditures for aviation and commercial

Extending transmission crystal x-ray spectroscopy to moderate-intensity laser driven sources

March 17, 2012
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, J. Y. Mao, L. M. Chen, John F. Seely, L. Zhang, Y. Q. Sun, X. X. Lin, J. Zhang
We present spectroscopic measurements of characteristic Kα and Kβ emissions from Mo targets irradiated by a 100 fs, 200 mJ, Ti: sapphire laser with intensity of 1017 W/cm2 to 1018 W/cm2 per pulse. This research pursues novel x-ray sources for medical

Absolute measurements of x-ray backlighter sources at energies above 10 keVa)

Lawrence T. Hudson, B.R. Maddox, H.S. Parks, B A. Remington, C. Chen, S Chen, S. T. Prisbrey, A. Comley, C A. Back, C. Szabo, John F. Seely, Uri Feldman, Stephen M. Seltzer, M. J. Haugh, Z. Ali
Line emission and broadband x-ray sources with x-ray energies above 10 keV have been investigated using a range of calibrated x-ray detectors for use as x-ray backlighters in high energy density (HED) experiments. The conversion efficiency of short- and

Pinhole X -ray camera photos of an ECR ion source plasma

November 1, 2011
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, Sandor Biri, E Takacs, R. Racz, J. Palinkas
A 70 micrometer pinhole and an X-ray CCD camera in single photon counting mode were used to obtain spatially and spectral resolved images of an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) ion source generated plasma. The method has good spatial resolution as well

Energetic Photon Spectra from Targets Irradiated by Picoseconds Lasers

April 30, 2011
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, John F. Seely, Csilla Szabo, Uri Feldman, Hui Chen, Albert Henins
Photon spectra in the energy range 60 keV to 1 MeV were recorded from targets irradiated by the LLNL Titan and LLE EP picosecond lasers. The radiation consisted of K shell radiation, Bremsstrahlung radiation from MeV electrons, and preliminary evidence for

Scaling studies with the dual crystal spectrometer at the OMEGA-EP laser facility

October 26, 2010
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, C.I Szabo, J. Workman, K. Flippo, Uri Feldman, Albert Henins
The dual crystal spectrometer (DCS) is an approved diagnostic at the OMEGA and the OMEGA-EP laser facilities for the measurement of high energy x-rays in the 11 90 keV energy range, e.g., for verification of the x-ray spectrum of backlighter targets of

Laser-produced MeV electrons and hard X-ray spectroscopic diagnostics

July 21, 2010
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, John F. Seely
A new spectroscopic technique for the measurement of the sizes of hard X-ray sources produced by the irradiation of solid-density targets by intense laser radiation is discussed. The technique is based on the source broadening of K shell spectral lines
