Abstract:
We have used spherically bent quartz crystal to image a laser-generated shock in a foam medium. The foam targets had a density of 0.16 g/cm3 and thickness of 150 μm, an aluminum/copper pusher drove the shock. The experiment was performed at the Titan facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory using a 2 ns, 250 J laser pulse to compress the foam target, and a short pulse (10 ps, 350 J) to generate a bright Ti Kα x-ray source at 4.5 keV to radiograph the shocked target. The crystal used gives a high resolution (∼20 μm) monochromatic image of the shock compressed foam.
