Summary
Recent results obtained by using a 10 channel, filtered XRD detector system to record sub-keV x-ray emission from laser-irradiated targets are reported. Targets materials were Be, Al, Ti, Sn, Au and U, with Z ranging from 4 to 92. Targets were irradiated with 1ns FWHM, 1.06 ..mu..m wavelength pulses at an intensity of 5 x 10/sup 14/ W/cm/sup 2/. Time-resolved x-ray emission pulses show systematic and striking variations with Z. These variations can most probably be attributed to the onset of inhibited electron conduction. Time-integrated x-ray yields are obtained as a function of target Z as well as calculated charge states anti Z, indicating the type of physical processes that give rise to the x-ray emission. Typical sub-keV x-ray spectra are presented; in some cases such as Ti where prominent lines are present, the charge state of the plasma can be directly deduced from line ratios, agreement with numerical simulation is very good.
