Abstract

With the advent of ultrashort (subpicosecond) high-power lasers it is now possible to create intense bursts of X-rays with subpicosecond durations. An analysis of the temporal response of diffraction of such X-rays by crystals in both the dynamical and kinematic regime is presented. It is also shown that under certain conditions the temporal resolution can be determined by the response of the crystal.
