We have performed spectrally resolved x-ray scattering measurements on highly
compressed polystyrene at pressures of several tens of TPa (100 Mbar) created by …

We have developed and fielded x-ray penumbral imaging on the National Ignition Facility in
order to enable sub-10 μm resolution imaging of stagnated plasma cores (hot spots) of …

At modern laser facilities, energy densities ranging from 1 Mbar to many hundreds of
gigabars can regularly be achieved. These high-energy states of matter last for mere …

We use path integral Monte Carlo and density functional molecular dynamics to construct a
coherent set of equations of state (EOS) for a series of hydrocarbon materials with various C …

Carbon-hydrogen plasmas and hydrocarbon materials are of broad interest to laser shock
experimentalists, high energy density physicists, and astrophysicists. Accurate equations of …

We present direct observations of acoustic waves in warm dense matter. We analyze wave-
number-and energy-resolved x-ray spectra taken from warm dense methane created by …

We have developed a model for analysing x-ray Thomson scattering data from high-density,
millimetre-scale inhomogeneous plasmas created during ultra-high pressure implosions at …

We have designed, built, and successfully fielded a highly efficient and gated Bragg crystal
spectrometer for x-ray Thomson scattering measurements on the National Ignition Facility …

We have developed an experimental platform for absolute equation of state measurements
up to Gbar pressures on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) within the Fundamental Science …

We present a new experimental platform to perform spectrally resolved x-ray scattering
measurements of ionization, density and temperature in imploding CH or beryllium capsules …
