Figure 6
Relative Bragg intensities for three 50 fs pulse shapes compared with a flat pulse of 50 fs (shown in columns), given at varying pulse intensities (y-axis), scattering vectors (x-axis) and photon energies (shown in rows), as defined in equation (9). A negative J (red scale) means that the pulse shape gives worse Bragg scattering compared with a flat pulse, and a positive J (blue scale) means that it gives better Bragg scattering compared with the flat case. Positive J values are shown up to 1. These same trends can be observed for 50 fs pulses as in the 100 fs case. For 12 keV, and low intensities, the expected ionization is very low. Here the plasma model is not valid. Top row: 2 keV. Middle row: 6 keV. Bottom row: 12 keV. |
