Abstract
We determine the spectral photon yield from a hot dense plasma irradiated by VUV-FEL light in a Thomson scattering experiment. The Thomson signal is compared to the emission background mainly caused by bremsstrahlung photons. We determine experimental conditions that allow for a signal-to-background ratio larger than unity. By derivation of the Thomson and the bremsstrahlung spectrum from linear response theory we present a consistent quantum statistical approach to both processes. This allows for a systematic treatment of medium and quantum effects such as dynamical screening and strong collisions. Results are presented for the threshold FEL-intensity as a function of density and temperature. We show that the account for quantum effects leads to larger thresholds as compared to previous work.
