Abstract
Intense, soft-x-ray pulses, generated from separate laser-irradiated converters, were used to irradiate plane plastic foils. The x-ray heating was investigated by measuring the temperature histories of chlorinated tracer layers buried at different depths in the targets. The temperature diagonistic was a time-resolved extreme-UV absorption spectroscopy technique using chlorine L-shell transitions. The temporal temperature profiles were reasonably well reproduced by radiation-hydrocode simulations.Keywords
