Inferring the electron temperature and density of shocked liquid deuterium using inelastic X-ray scattering

An experiment designed to launch laser-ablation-driven shock waves (10 to 70 Mbar) in a planar liquid-deuterium target on the OMEGA Laser System and to diagnose the shocked conditions using inelastic x-ray scattering is described. The electron temperature (T e) is inferred fr...
