Abstract
Comparisons between hard‐x‐ray experimental spectra and those obtained from a planar one‐dimensional one‐temperature fluid laser‐produced plasma model show good agreement over several orders of magnitude in x‐ray intensity and for Nd‐laser irradiances varying between 2×1014 and 8×1015 W/cm2. The key to this agreement is the careful modeling of electron‐energy flux limitation by return‐current‐driven ion‐acoustic turbulence. The hard‐x‐ray temperature agrees with a (Iλ2)1/3 scaling law.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
