Abstract:
We have measured the production of hnu approximately 4.7 keV x rays from low-density Ti-doped aerogel (rho approximately 3 mg/cc) targets at the OMEGA laser facility (University of Rochester), with the goal of maximizing x-ray output. Forty OMEGA beams (lambda(L)=0.351 microm) illuminated the two cylindrical faces of the target with a total power that ranged from 7 to 14 TW. The laser fully ionizes the target (n(e)/n(crit)
