Abstract

A time dependent x-ray diagnostic technique based on the fast rise time characteristics of unitary crystals is demonstrated, and a correction for decay time is determined for anthracene crystals. The method has a probable time resolution capability better than 10 picoseconds. The shape of the x-ray pulse emitted by laser-generated plasmas is measured by this method and found to be similar to the shape of the laser pulse for laser pulse widths of 1.5-3.5 nanoseconds.
