Researchers in the Control Room (IMAGE) Tokyo Institute of Technology Caption Kouhei Ichiyanagi (left) and Sota Takagi, Doctoral student of University of Tsukuba analyzed the diffraction images of the pre- and post-shocked samples.They irradiated the samples with 100 picosecond X-ray pulses synchronized during one high intensity pulsed laser irradiation (8 nano sec), changed the irradiation timing by 3 nano sec and shot the image repeatedly,then succeeded in acquiring time-resolved diffraction images.
