X-ray spectroscopic studies of hot, dense iron plasma formed by subpicosecond high intensity KrF laser irradiation

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 model...
