X-ray sources and shock compression schemes for photoabsorption edge spectroscopy

A scheme to probe the temporal evolution of the K-shell photoabsorption edge in shock compressed aluminum is presented in two components. In the first component, a one dimensional hydrodynamic code coupled to a non-local thermodynamic equilibrium calculation is developed and used to model shock p...
