Abstract
We have measured the 8–11‐keV emission spectra from plasmas produced by impinging 0.53‐μm, 100‐ and 200‐ps FWHM Gaussian laser pulses on targets of different materials. The experimental spectra from W and Zn are identified by comparison with local thermodynamic equilibrium plasma emission calculations.Keywords
