Abstract

We present the application of short-pulse laser-driven hard x-rays (>40 keV) for the direct density measurement of iron compressed by a laser-driven shock. By using an on-shot calibration of the line density, we are able to obtain line densities even though the x-ray source is not monochromatic. The consequences for the line density measurement using a polychromatic source are discussed in detail, as well as the calibration method we propose to solve this problem.
