“…One can use X-ray radiography using hard X-ray emitted from a secondary laser-produced plasma [17] or (with care) proton radiography (PR) [18]. It is also possible to use optical diagnostics on the target 'rear side', if a thin target is used, and the shock fi nally breaks out on the rear side [19][20][21].…”

“…is required. Development of instabilities is related to uniformity [9] of the compression, therefore, studies have been carried out to diagnose the effect of laser imprints on the homogeneity of the compression at the backside of a aluminum foil [16] and also influence of preheating on the backside expansion of an aluminum foil [17]. During this experiment, the release of a single aluminum foil (15 mm) was probed 7 ns after the rear-side breakout (Fig.…”

An experiment was performed using high-energy protons, generated by an intense short laser pulse, to try to characterize in situ, the spatial and temporal evolution of a laser-driven shock propagating through a low-Z material. Radiography of the shock propagating through the low-Z transparent material could lead to density determination under compression. A first test of a proton radiography of the rear-side released state of a shocked aluminum foil has also been tried.
