High-precision measurement of the X-ray Cu K-alpha spectrum

May 12, 2017
Author(s)
Marcus H. Mendenhall, Albert Henins, Lawrence T. Hudson, Csilla I. Szabo-Foster, Donald A. Windover, James P. Cline
The structure of the x-ray emission lines of the Cu Kα complex has been remeasured on a newly commissioned instrument, in a manner directly traceable to the Système Internationale definition of the meter. In this measurement, the region from 8000 to 8100

The Lattice Spacing Variability of Intrinsic Float-Zone Silicon

May 11, 2017
Author(s)
Ernest G. Kessler Jr., Csilla Szabo-Foster, James Cline, Albert Henins, Lawrence T. Hudson, Marcus Mendenhall, Mark D. Vaudin
Precision lattice spacing comparison measurements at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provide traceability of x-ray wavelength and powder diffraction standards to the international system of units (SI). Here we both summarize and

Energetic Electrons Driven in the Polarization Direction of an Intense Laser Beam Incident Normal to a Solid Target

June 1, 2016
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, John F. Seely, Nino R. Pereira, H. Chen, G.J. Williams, R.P. Drake, C.C. Kuranz, C.A. Di Stefano, J. Park
Experiments were performed at the LLNL Titan laser to measure the propagation direction of the energetic electrons that were generated during the interaction of the polarized laser beam with solid targets in the case of normal incidence. The energetic

New x-ray measurements shed light on discrepancy between experiment and QED

December 15, 2014
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, C T. Chantler, A.T. Payne, M N. Kinnane, John D. Gillaspy, L F. Smale, Albert Henins, J A. Kimpton, E Takacs
Quantum Electro-Dynamics (QED) is the best tested theory of our physical world, yet significant disagreements have emerged between attempts to apply QED to exotic atomic systems. A recent 15 parts-per-million (ppm) experiment on muonic hydrogen, in which

The Metrology of a Rastered Spot of X Rays used in Security Screening

November 6, 2014
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, Jack L. Glover, Ronaldo Minniti
In recent times, ionizing radiation has been used around the world to screen persons for non- medical purposes, namely to detect bulk explosives or other contraband hidden on the body including materials not registered by metal detectors. In contrast to

Measurement of High-Energy (10 keV to 60 keV) X-Ray Spectral Line Widths with eV Accuracy

August 8, 2014
Author(s)
John F. Seely, Jack L. Glover, Lawrence T. Hudson, Yuri Ralchenko, Nino R. Pereira, U. Feldman, C. D. Stefan
A high resolution crystal spectrometer (HRCS) utilizing a crystal in transmission geometry has been developed and experimentally optimized to measure the line widths of emission lines in the 10 keV to 60 keV energy range with eV accuracy. The spectrometer

High-resolution K-shell spectra from laser excited molybdenum plasma

November 1, 2013
Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, C.I Szabo, P Indelicatio, John F. Seely, T Ma
X-ray spectra from Molybdenum plasmas were recorded by a Cauchois-type cylindrically bent Transmission Crystal Spectrometer (TCS). The absolutely calibrated spectrometer provides an unprecedented resolution of inner shell transitions (K x-ray radiation)
