Zusammenfassung

Understanding the structure and behaviour of matter at extreme pressures and temperatures is of critical importance for many fundamental physics applications. This includes geophysics, planetary science and astrophysics, as well as shock and plasma physics. At LCLS in Stanford high-quality diffraction patterns of shock-compressed matter can be collected in a single pulse, making it ideal for time-resolved structural studies. This project concerns the development of a novel setup for in situ X-ray diffraction of shock-compressed matter at free-electron lasers allowing the investigation...
