X-Ray Generation for Diffraction Experiments on Z

Explanation of the concept and benefit of X-ray diffraction in the context of material sciences on Z. Explanation why we use ZBL and ZPW for these experiments and what the progress on X-ray generation for this purpose is.

DENNIS: a design and analysis tool for dynamic material x-ray diffraction experiments

We present DENNIS (Diffraction Experiment desigN and aNalysiS): a graphical software tool useful for the design and analysis of dynamic x-ray diffraction experiments, such as those performed on the Z Pulsed Power Facility, Thor Pulsed Power Generator, and Dynamic Compression Sector (DCS) of the Advanced Photon Source. DENNIS provides rapid powder and single-crystal diffraction pattern predictions and powder diffraction pattern image integration in three-dimensional geometries. Additional features include crystallographic information file reading, image processing, and synthetic diffraction pattern image generation. We overview the software's capabilities, detail the prediction and integration methodologies, and provide example implementations on Z and DCS experiments.
