Characterization of a high-efficiency, streaked x-ray spectrometer for warm-dense matter studies on the National Ignition Facility (invited).

X-ray scattering is a powerful diagnostic for characterizing warm-dense matter, as the scattering spectrum simultaneously encodes details of the plasma thermodynamic state, ionization, and electron correlations. However, scattering measurements from laser-driven samples must contend with not only a short-lived and rapi...
