Abstract
The time-integrated x-ray emission from a hot, dense iron plasma has been recorded. The iron plasma was created when a target with a 1000-Å-thick iron layer buried beneath 1000 Å of plastic was irradiated by a 300 fs pulse of 249 nm laser light at an intensity of approximately 1017 W cm−2. Two models have been used to construct a synthetic x-ray spectrum. The first employs detailed, spectroscopically accurate atomic data and the second uses a local thermodynamic equilibrium opacity model. The detailed model shows fairly good agreement with experiment whereas the opacity model only shows agreement in the gross features.
