Abstract
We present x-ray spectroscopic measurements of the longitudinal electron density profile and the longitudinal and transverse electron temperature profiles for a laser irradiated gas jet. We attempt to verify our spectroscopic method by laser interferometry and by comparison of inferred quantities to those determined from laser plasma interaction simulations. Because temperature profiles were time dependent, we used a theoretical time dependent radiation transport code to analyze the data.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
