Development of intense point x-ray sources for backlighting high energy density experiments (invited)
Jonathan Workman,J. R. Fincke,Paul Keiter,George A. Kyrala,Timothy Pierce,S. Sublett,J. P. Knauer,Harry Robey,B. E. Blue,S. G. Glendinning,Otto Landen +10 more
TL;DR: Point backlighting offers the potential to obtain higher-energy x rays using less laser energy while giving a large, uniform field of view (millimeters). as discussed by the authors presented recent results from Los Alamos National Lab, Lawrence Livermore National Lab and the University of Rochester’s Laboratory for laser energetics obtained on the OMEGA laser.

Temperature of shocked plastic bonded explosive PBX 9502 measured with spontaneous Stokes/anti-Stokes Raman
TL;DR: Raman spectra and velocimetry of shocked PBX 9502 (plastic bonded explosive composed of 95% triaminotrinitrobenzene (TATB) and 5% 3M Company Kel F-800 polymer binder) are reported with the Stokes/anti-Stokes ratio used to determine temperature after the shock reflects from a lithium fluoride window as discussed by the authors.

Orientation dependent far-infrared terahertz absorptions in single crystal pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy.
Von H Whitley,Daniel E. Hooks,Kyle J. Ramos,Timothy Pierce,John F. O'Hara,Abul Kalam Azad,Antoinette J. Taylor,Jeffrey Barber,Richard D. Averitt +8 more
TL;DR: Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THZ-TDS) has been used to measure the absorption spectra in the range 7-100 cm(-1) (0.2-3 THz) of single crystal pentaerythritol tetranitrate (PETN) and relatively minor differences were observed among the three orientations.
