Measurements of the K-shell opacity of a solid-density magnesium plasma heated by an X-ray free electron laser
We present measurements of the spectrally-resolved X-rays emitted from solid-density magnesium targets of varying sub-μm thicknesses isochorically heated by an X-ray laser. The data exhibit a largely thickness-independent source function, allowing the extraction of a measure of the opacity to K-shel...
