Temperature measurement through detailed balance in X-ray Thomson scattering

Conference ·
The plasma conditions in isochorically heated beryllium are measured by x-ray Thomson scattering in the collective regime with a Cl Ly-{alpha} x-ray source at 2.96 keV. In addition to the down-shifted plasmon shape which provides electron density and temperature information, an up-shifted plasmon signal is observed allowing a model independent determination of the plasma temperature from the detailed balance relation.
