Application of snow nanograin targets for the generation of fast ions in femtosecond laser plasma

We have measured the energy of the directed motion of multiply charged ions produced when solid targets are exposed to low-contrast (10^?3–10^?2) femtosecond laser pulses with intensities 10¹⁵–10¹⁶ W cm^?2. The measurements are based on the recording of spatially resolved X-ray spectra for H-and He-like oxygen ions in the target plane. Analysis of the He_β and Ly_α line profiles has revealed fractions of accelerated ions in plasma with energies from several to several tens of kiloelectronvolts. We show that using a layer of frozen nanometer-size water droplets as the targets leads to an effective absorption of laser pulses and a twofold rise in the energy (to 0.1 MeV) of He-like oxygen ions compared to the use of solid targets.     

X-ray spectroscopy diagnostics of a recombining plasma in laboratory astrophysics studies

The investigation of a recombining laser plasma is topical primarily because it can be used to simulate the interaction between plasma jets in astrophysical objects. It has been shown that the relative intensities of transitions of a resonance series of He-like multicharged ions can be used for the diagnostics of the recombining plasma. It has been found that the intensities of the indicated transitions for ions with the nuclear charge number Z _n ~ 10 are sensitive to the plasma density in the range N _e ~ 10¹⁶–10²⁰ cm^–3 at temperatures of 10–100 eV. The calculations performed for the F VIII ion have determined the parameters of plasma jets created at the ELFIE nanosecond laser facility (Ecole Polytechnique, France) in order to simulate astrophysical phenomena. The resulting universal calculation dependences can be used to diagnose different recombining plasmas containing helium-like fluorine ions.

Two γ-ray cascades (irregular bandlike structures) have been observed up to an excitation energy of about 10 MeV and spin 21-22?. Received: 19 January 2001 / Accepted: 30 March 2001     

Generation and characterization of a bright X-ray source using picosecond laser

High-resolution soft X-ray spectra of H-like and He-like ions were produced from laser irradiated silicon and aluminum targets. Plasma size was about 100 μm. X-ray spectra were analyzed to determine plasma parameters. We compared the line shape of resonance transitions and their intensity ratios to corresponding dielectronic satellites and the intensities of the inter combination lines of He-like ions, with the results of model calculations. Such comparison gave average values of the electron density N _e=(1?1.9)×10²¹ cm^?3 and the electron temperature T _e=460–560 eV for Si plasmas and about 560 eV for Al plasmas produced by the first and the second laser harmonics. According to our estimations, more than 10¹² photons were produced within the resonance line spectral width and in the solid angle 2π steredian during the total decay period.     

Observation of X-ray spectra from nitrogen clusters irradiated with high-intensity ultrashort laser pulses

X-ray spectra from nitrogen clusters irradiated with ultrashort laser pulses are reported. The line spectra of H-like and He-like nitrogen ions have been observed by irradiation with 100 fs, 800 nm pulses at 7×10¹⁷ W/cm² irradiance. The generation of highly charged ions of N⁶⁺ and N⁷⁺ is explained by the optical field-induced ionization and the subsequent collisional ionizations in the clusters. The He-δline has anomalously high brightness compared to other He-like lines. It is ascribed to charge exchange, which preferentially populates the n=5 level of N⁵⁺.

High-spin isomers in 183Os

On the role of prepulses during solid target heating by picosecond laser pulses

X-ray emission spectra of the plasma created at the surface of magnesium, aluminum, copper, and zinc targets heated by 1-ps laser pulses with a peak power density of up to 10¹⁶ W/cm² were measured. The effect of a picosecond prepulse on the spectra was studied for various power densities and intensity contrasts of the main laser pulse. It is established that the emission spectra of laser plasmas are weakly affected by a change from 10⁵ to 10⁷ in the main pulse contrast relative to the first prepulse. Variations in the parameters of emission from aluminum and magnesium plasmas were calculated using relative intensities and widths of the resonance lines of H-and He-like ions and their two-electron satellite peaks.     

NOx generation in laser-produced plasma in air as a function of dissipated energy

An experimental study on the production of NO_x as a function of dissipated energy in laser-produced plasma in air is presented. A plasma was produced by focusing a (60–180) mJ, 5 ns, 532 nm pulse from a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The results show that for laser energy in the range of 13–99 mJ the laser plasma generates 6.7×10¹⁶ NO_x molecules per joule and 4.6×10¹⁶ NO molecules per joule. An order of magnitude estimate of the NO and NO_x production per unit volume of heated gas based on a simple model show that the NO_x and NO production efficiency in air are about 3×10²² and 2×10²² molecules J⁻¹ m⁻³.     

X-ray spectroscopic diagnostics of ultrashort laser-cluster interaction at the stage of the nonadiabatic scattering of clusters

X-ray spectroscopic diagnostics of laser-cluster interaction at the stage of nonadiabatic scattering of clusters and formation of a spatially uniform plasma channel has been performed. The experimental investigations have been carried out on a Ti:Sa laser setup with a pulse duration of about 65 fs and an energy up to 600 mJ. It has been shown that, within 10 ps from the beginning of a laser femtosecond pulse, the laser-cluster interaction forms a uniform plasma channel with a length of 0.4 to 1 mm with the parameters N _e ～ 10¹⁹?10²⁰ cm^?3 and T _e ～ 100 eV.     

Giant dielectric susceptibility and magnetocapacitance effect in manganites at room temperature

Extremely high values of the relative permittivity up to 10⁷ and the magnetocapacitance up to 10⁵% have been found in La_{1 − x} Sr _x MnO₃ single crystals (x = 0.1, 0.11). These phenomena are observed even at room temperature. The observed behavior can be a consequence of the strong interaction among charge, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom, which leads to charge and phase separation in the regime before the percolation threshold.     

Structure of the XUV emitting regions in a laser produced plasma

The XUV spectra emitted by plasma produced by focusing a ruby laser on plane targets of carbon and beryllium have been observed with a novel stigmatic spectrograph fitted with a toroidal mirror. The observations have been made both side-on on the expanding plasma and end-on looking inside the crater. In the latter case the intensity emitted is very large and the lines broadened indication electron densities approacing the critical density at 2.2×10²¹ cm^-3. The relative intensity of resonance lines, free-bound and free-free continua and He-like and Li-like satellites has been determined. In particular the latter satellites appear to arise only from the region inside the crater.     

Yrast level structure of the neutron-deficient N = 80 isotones 146Dy, 147Ho and 148Er up to high-spin values

High-spin level schemes of the N = 80 isotones ¹⁴⁶Dy, ¹⁴⁷Ho and ¹⁴⁸Er have been investigated by in-beam γ-ray spectroscopic methods using the NORDBALL Compton-suppressed multidetector array including proton and neutron selection. The projectile-target system ⁵⁸Ni + ⁹²Mo at 260 MeV beam energy has been used to produce the neutron-deficient N = 80 isotones. The previously known schemes have been extended to considerably higher spin and exitation energy, up to I = 23?, E _x≈ 8.9 MeV in ¹⁴⁶Dy, I = 53/2?, E _x≈ 8.7 MeV in ¹⁴⁷Ho and I = 23?, E _x≈ 9.6 MeV in ¹⁴⁸Er. The results are discussed in terms of the spherical shell model. Many of the levels can be described within this framework. Received: 12 January 2001 / Accepted: 11 April 2001

Yrast traps and high-spin states in 210Rn

Yrast and near-yrast states have been investigated in ²¹⁰Rn to high spin (J > 30) and high energy (E_x > 10 MeV). Three different (HI, xn) reactions were used to populate the states of interest and several different γ-ray spectroscopic techniques were utilized. Three high-spin yrast traps were discovered. Two de-excite by strong E3 transitions while the third decays mainly via an extremely inhibited E2 transition. The E3 decays are interpreted as allowed single-particle transitions between proton or neutron states above the ²⁰⁸Pb shell closure while the inhibited E2 transition is interpreted as indicating a substantial change in structure as the decay proceeds down the yrast line. The interpretation has been given in terms of shell-model calculations.

Diagnostics of hot plasma by spectra of He-like ions

Collisional-radiative models of He-like ions C V, Mg XI, Si XIII, and Fe XXV (n = 1, 2, 3) are constructed for the case of ionizing plasma. The line intensity ratios which are of interest from the viewpoint of plasma diagnostics are calculated. The dependence of widely used ratios R and G on the number of considered levels is studied. Approximation formulas are proposed for R and G. It is shown that the consideration of collisions with protons is inessential in most cases. New lines for diagnostics are proposed. For the considered intensity ratios, regions of sensitivity to the plasma density and temperature are determined.
