In this paper, we present an experiment that explores the plasma dynamics ofa 7 micron diameter carbon wire after being irradiated with anear-relativistic-intensity short pulse laser. Using an X-ray Free ElectronLaser pulse to measure the small angle X-ray scattering signal, we observe thatthe scattering surface is bent and prone to instability over tens ofpicoseconds. The dynamics of this process are consistent with the presence of asharp, propagating shock front inside the wire, moving at a speed close to thehole boring velocity.

Probing the dynamics of solid density micro-wire targets after ultra-intense laser irradiation using a free-electron laser
