Abstract
The use of a laser-produced plasma created by low ener~y (E :::;; 61), ps duration laser pulses as the X-ray source for EXAFS spectroscopy in the 3-8 A wavelength band is investigated. We consider the various factors that affect the X-ray flux at the detector plane and investigate ways of optimizing that flux. A simple qualitative model has been used to describe the way in which the source intensity scales with parameters�such as the laser intensity. Practical problems associated with the implementation of the various different X-ray dispersive elements and detectors are discussed.Keywords
