In the transient diffraction NLYF proposal we set forward a program of work to investigate the response of crystals to shock compression in regions of strain rates previously unexplored, in a coordinated experimental, computational, and analytical program. Time resolved x-ray diffraction was used to directly determine the lattice parameters of crystals during shock loading previously on the Nova and Trident laser facilities. Under this proposal we extended this work to exploit the multi-beam direct capability of the Omega laser facility to allow more extensive diagnostic access for measuring the lattice parameters both parallel and perpendicular to the shock front.
