Exploring relaxation dynamics in warm dense plasmas by tailoring non-thermal electron distributions with a free electron laser

Knowing the characteristic relaxation time of free electrons in a dense plasma is crucial to our understanding of plasma equilibration and transport. However, experimental investigations of electron relaxation dynamics have been hindered by the ultra-fast, sub-femtosecond timescales on which these i...
