Abstract

Suggested is a tomography-like method for studying properties of solid-density plasmas with cylindrical symmetry, such as formed in the interaction of high-power lasers with planar targets. The method is based on simultaneous observation of the target x-ray fluorescence at different angles. It can be applied for validation of existing hypotheses and lately for reconstruction of the plasma properties with three-dimensional resolution. The latter becomes straightforward if the resonance x-ray self-absorption is negligible. The utility of the method is demonstrated by examples.
