High-energy x-ray source development for radiography in High-Energy Density Physics performed on the TRIDENT 200-TW laser

POSTER

Abstract

Experiments were performed on the Trident 200-TW facility to measure K-alpha x-ray emission from high-Z targets using small emission regions to develop phase contrast capabilities. Results from wire targets using Mo, Ag and W are presented and are compared to reduced mass targets. Images are recorded on image plates and a high-energy x-ray CCD camera. Images of static objects show high spatial resolution, high contrast and begin to optimize refractive effects leading to phase contrast imaging.

*Work performed under the auspices of the Dept. of Energy under contract No. DE-AC52-06NA25396.
