Space-resolved investigation of soft-x-ray emission characteristics of a laser plasma in a half-cylindrical shell target

Abstract
Results are presented of experimental research aimed at the study of hydrodynamic processes and soft-x-ray (SXR) emission characteristics of a laser-produced plasma in a half-cylindrical-shell target. Experimental measurements show that this kind of target can effectively increase the short-wavelength SXR emission of the laser-produced plasma in the grooved region.
