Dynamic laser compression platform optimized for flexible experimental geometries. For the drive laser, this is realized through five individual laser entrance ports at angles of 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°, 90°, and 112.5° with respect to the incident X-ray beam, to which the DiPOLE beam transport is coupled via an external periscope system. The VISAR beam enters the chamber through a single port and covers an angular range from 202.5° to 310° via a pair of fixed and mobile mirrors inside the chamber. The Varex detector system can be rotated around the interaction point in steps of 7.5°. |
