Visualizing plasmons and ultrafast kinetic instabilities in laser-driven solids using X-ray scattering

Abstract Ultra-intense lasers that ionize atoms and accelerate electrons in solids to near the speed of light can lead to kinetic instabilities that alter the laser absorption and subsequent electron transport, isochoric heating, and ion acceleration. These instabilities can be difficult to characte...
