Laser heated gas-jet: A soft X-ray source
Abstract
The laser irradiated gas jet soft X-ray source in scattering processes was studied. It is a reproducible and stationary source with large yield and plasma properties characterized by conventional diagnostic techniques. X-ray pinhole photographs show an axially symmetric radiating plume located at the electron density critical surface. The density gradient is obtained by holograhic interferometry using a 0.26 microwavelength probe pulse. Electron temperatures are determined by spatially resolving X-ray crystal spectroscopy to record and analyze line emission from H and He like configurations.
