Laser Target Model.

Abstract

A numerical simulation model is described for the dense hot plasma produced in the interaction of a focused laser pulse with a target of moderate atomic weight. Specific results are given for the line and continuum x-ray emission, together with other parameters of the plasma, for the case of an aluminum target.
