Hard X-Ray Spectrum from a One-Fluid Laser Plasma Model.

Abstract

Comparisons between hard x-ray experimental spectra and those obtained from a one-dimensional, one-temperature fluid laser-produced plasma model show good agreement over several oders of magnitude in x-ray intensity and for Nd-laser irradiances varying between 1 and 8 x 10 to the 15th power W/sq cm. The key to this agreement is the careful modeling of electron energy flux limitation by return current driven ion acoustic turbulence. (Author)
