Conceptual Design Report: Dynamic Laser Compression Experiments at the HED Instrument of European XFEL

Since the publication of the conceptual design report (CDR) for the High Energy Density Science (HED) instrument at the European XFEL in 2013, it has become clear that a community-wide discussion for shock and ramp compression experiments at the HED instrument is needed. The HED group at European XFEL and the Helmholtz International Beamline for Extreme Fields at the European XFEL user consortium (HIBEF UC) agreed to do this together. This CDR on dynamic laser compression experiments at HED was drafted prior to the Dynamic Laser Compression workshop that was held on 12–14 September 2016 at European XFEL, where the CDR served as an outline for the presentations. Both the CDR drafting and the workshop programme were organized by Malcolm McMahon (for the HIBEF UC) and Ulf Zastrau (for European XFEL). An international team of contributing authors assembled this CDR and presented it to the entire community at the workshop. (31.0 MB, en)
