Abstract
A platform has been developed for accurately measuring the stopping power of high energy protons through warm dense matter (WDM) plasmas characterized by x-ray Thomson scattering. In this work stopping power measurements were successfully made through both WDM Beryllium and Boron plasmas. In the Boron experiments, an increase in stopping was observed over their cold target counter-parts. This increase in stopping was shown to agree well with models that account for the partial ionization of the plasma.
