A comparative benchmarking of optical Thomson scattering and various X-ray emission spectroscopies in nanosecond laser-produced plasmas
X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) and optical Thomson scattering (OTS) are two of the most indispensable diagnostics for characterization of plasma parameters such as Te and ne in intense laser-produced plasmas (LPPs), but both can also provide weighted-average values owing to the line-of-sight, space, and time-integra...
