ABSTRACT
We describe the development and demonstration of a high-repetition-rate-capable dual-channel (DC) x-ray spectrometer designed for high-intensity laser-plasma experiments (≥1×1021 W/cm2). The spectrometer, which operates at high repetition rates, is limited only by the refresh rate of targets and the camera's frame rate. It features two channels, each equipped with a flat highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) crystal and a unique detector plane, allowing it to resolve two distinct x-ray bands approximately 7-10 and 10-13 keV. Each detector plate carrier holds two slots for active (scintillators) or passive (imaging plates) x-ray detectors. We present the design and testing of the HR-DC-HOPG using both the COMET laser (10 J, 0.5 ps shot/4 min) at LLNL's Jupiter Laser Facility and the SCARLET laser (10 J, 30 fs shot/min) at Ohio State University. The results demonstrate the spectrometer's performance across various laser energies, target materials, pulse shapes, and detector types.
