Applications of point-projection radiography to high energy density physics experiment

The principles and characteristics of point-projection radiography were studied through static imaging experiments, using laser-driven about 4.8 keV Ti plasma X-ray source. The application of point-projection to dynamic diagnosis was then developed, and an experimental platform was accomplished with about 4.8 keV photon energy, about 100 ps time resolution and about 10 μm spatial resolution. A series of experimental results from this platform were introduced, including those on hydrodynamic instability, laser-accelerated plasma jet and compression characters of materials.
