Abstract
We present temporally and spectrally resolved x-ray emission data from a laser-irradiated target. The temporal dependence is interpreted in terms of a laser heating phase, a plateau period in which the glass-shell pusher propagates radially inward, a secondary x-ray burst corresponding to stagnation of the pusher at the target center, and a rapid decay of emission in the post-compression target disassembly period.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
