X-Ray Spectral Determination of Electron Density in Dense Laser-Excited Targets,

Abstract

The electron density of the x-ray emitting volume in a plasma produced by intense subpicosecond ultraviolet irradiation of UV-transparent targets is determined by measurement of the line ratio of dielectronic satellites from lithium-like ions.
