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)=0.1), and a laser-bleaching wave excites, supersonically, the high-Z emitter ions in the sample. Ti K-shell x-ray emission was spectrally resolved with a two-channel crystal spectrometer and also with a set of filtered aluminum x-ray diodes; both instruments provide absolute measurement of the multi-keV x-ray emission. We find between 40 and 260 J of output with 4.67=hnu=5.0 keV. |
