Abstract

Abstract

High-energy electron radiography (HEER) is a promising diagnostic tool for high-energy-density physics, as an alternative to tools such as X/γ-ray shadowgraphy and high-energy proton radiography. Impressive progress has been made in the development and application of HEER in the past few years, and its potential for high-resolution imaging of static opaque objects has been proved. In this study, by taking advantage of the short pulse duration and tunable time structure of high-energy electron probes, time-resolved imaging measurements of high-energy-density gold irradiated by ultrashort intense laser pulses are performed. Phenomena at different time scales from picoseconds to microseconds are observed, thus proving the feasibility of this technique for imaging of static and dynamic objects.
