Limits on collective X-ray scattering imposed by coherence
We present the calculation of the threshold for observation of collective plasmon modes in a solid density plasma probed with a partially coherent X-ray source. We find that at lower electron densities (ne ≲ 2 × 1023 cm-3) de-coherence effects pose a stringent limit to the effective divergence as we...
