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

High contract femtosecond laser-driven intense hard X-ray source for imaging application

November 18, 2009
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, L.M Chen, W.M. Wang, M. Kando, F Liu, X.X. Lin, J.L Ma, Y.T. Li, S.V. Bulanvo, T. Tajima, Y. Kato, Z.M. Sheng, J Zhang
In this report we address the current situation of laser-driven hard X-ray sources for imaging applications,especially the saturation of X-ray conversion efficiency and the serious impact upon imaging quality.By employing high contrast laser pulses,the

First Measurement of Lyman Alpha X-ray Lines in Hydrogen-like Vanadium

September 30, 2009

John D. Gillaspy, C T. Chantler, D Paterson, Lawrence T. Hudson, F Serpa, E Takacs
The first measurement of hydrogen-like vanadium x-ray Lyman alpha transitions has been made. The measurement was made on an absolute scale, fully independent of atomic structure calculations. Sufficient signal was obtained to reduce the statistical

X-ray measurements at high-power lasers

May 1, 2009
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, C.I Szabo, Paul Indelicato, G.E. Gumberidze, G Holland, John F. Seely, Albert Henins, M Audebert, S. Bastiani-Ceccotti, E. Tabakhoff, E. Brambrink
Conversion efficiencies of laser light into K x-ray radiation are used to characterize laser-solid interactions e.g. in measurements with back-lighter targets in Inertial Confinement Fusion research or in ultra short x-ray science where ultra short laser

Analysis of ISCD-NIST Survey for Bone Health

April 1, 2009
Author(s)
Andrew M. Dienstfrey, Tammy L. Oreskovic, Herbert S. Bennett, Lawrence T. Hudson
In 2007, the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the International Society for Clinical Densitometry designed a survey to prioritize seven research and standardization action items intended to improve accuracy and cross-comparability of dual

Laser-produced X-Ray Sources

January 12, 2009
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, J Seely
A formidable array of advanced laser systems are emerging that produce extreme states of light and matter. By irradiating solid and gaseous targets with lasers of increasing energy densities, new physical regimes of radiation effects are being explored for

Development of backlighting sources for Compton radiography diagnostic of Inertial Confinement Fusion targets.

December 8, 2008
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, A. Tommasini, A MacPhee, D. Hey, T Ma, C. Chen, N Izimi, W Unites, A. MacKinnon, P. Hatchett, B.A. Remington, H.S. Park, P. Springer, J. Koch, O.L. Landen, John F. Seely, G Holland
We present scaled demonstrations of backlighter sources, emitting Bremsstrahlung x rays with photon energies above 75 keV, that we will use to record x-ray Compton radiographic snapshots of cold dense DT fuel in inertial confinement fusion implosions at

High resolution 17 keV to 75 keV backlighers for high energy density experiments

November 6, 2008
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, H.S. Parks, B.R. Maddox, E. Giraldez, P. Hatchett, N. Izumi, M.H. Key, S. LePape, A. MacKinnon, A MacPhee, P.K. Patel, T.W. Phillips, B.A. Remington, John F. Seely, A. Tommasini, R. Town, J. Workman
We have developed 17 keV to 75 keV 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional high-resolution (<10 m) radiography using high-intensity short pulse lasers. High energy K- sources are created by fluorescence from hot electrons interacting in the target material after

May 15, 2008
Author(s)
Andrew M. Dienstfrey, Tammy L. Oreskovic, Lawrence T. Hudson, Herbert S. Bennett
This article reports and discusses briefly the preliminary results from the recent International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD)-National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) Survey. The 1074 Survey
