Title: Measurement of Preheat Due to Nonlocal Electron Transport in Warm Dense Matter

Abstract

This work presents a novel approach to study electron transport in warm dense matter. It also includes the first x-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) measurement from low-density CH foams compressed by a strong laser-driven shock at the OMEGA laser facility. The XRTS measurement is combined with velocity interferometry (VISAR) and optical pyrometry (SOP) providing a robust measurement of thermodynamic conditions in the shock. Evidence of significant preheat contributing to elevated temperatures reaching 17.5–35 eV in shocked CH foam is measured by XRTS. These measurements are complemented by abnormally high shock velocities observed by VISAR and early emission seen by SOP. These results are compared to radiation hydrodynamics simulations that include first-principles treatment of nonlocal electron transport in warm dense matter with excellent agreement. Additional simulations confirm that the x-ray contribution to this preheat is negligible.

FIG. 1 FIG. 1: A schematic of the targets. The driven target sits inside the larger Au cone and consists of a plastic ablator, Au radiation shield, Al pusher and C8H8 foam. The XRTS target also includes a second smaller cone containing Ni backlighter and Ta slit used to collimate the x-rays.more » Laser beams illuminate the ablator from inside of each cone. The VISAR target is identical, but has no backlighter and includes a four steps on the back side of the foam. Additional Ta shielding was used to restrict the view of VISAR and XRTS.« less
