Abstract

The spectrum and angular distribution of the X-ray continuum emission from a picosecond ruby laser produced plasma has been investigated. Massive plane targets made of 20 different elements were used. The dependence of the electron temperature and the effective temperature of suprathermal electrons on the atomic number of the target was determined as well as the dependence of the suprathermal electron temperature on the laser intensity. The most probable mechanism of suprathermal electron generation is resonance absorption.
