Abstract

We describe how the powerful technique of spectrally resolved Thomson scattering can be extended to the x-ray regime, for direct measurements of the ionization state, density, temperature, and the microscopic behavior of dense cool plasmas. Such a direct measurement of microscopic parameters of solid density plasmas could eventually be used to properly interpret laboratory measurements of material properties such as thermal and electrical conductivity, EOS and opacity. In addition, x-ray Thomson scattering will provide new information on the characteristics of hitherto difficult to diagnose Fermi degenerate and strongly coupled plasmas.
