Figure 4
(a) Raw diffraction profile collected at DCS. Single-crystal spots from the LiF window material, which are masked from the integrated profiles, are highlighted by green circles. All remaining spots are ambient β-Sn peaks (ambient material ahead of the shock wave) that are also removed from the final integrated profile, leaving only the diffuse scattering from liquid tin. The X-ray shadows from the VISAR mirror and blast shield are also highlighted. (b) Partial azimuthally integrated intensity as a function of momentum transfer from (a) ignoring the areas with shadows from the blast shield and the VISAR mirror. The beam energy used for converting from 2θ to q was 23.53 keV. (c) Point VISAR data. The dashed line shows the average Sn/LiF particle velocity at shock breakout, with uncertainty bounded by the yellow shaded region; the shock pressure of 74 (5) GPa is determined using impedance matching of the Sn sample with the LiF window. The arrow indicates the time at which there is a significant loss of reflectivity.
