Layered-disk transport experiments at 1. 064. mu. m and 0. 355. mu. m

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5181795
The results of electron transport experiments conducted at 1.064..mu..m and 0.355..mu..m with the Argus Laser will be presented. The experiments were conducted at a fixed absorbed intensity and pulse width of approximately 1-2x10/sup 14/W/cm/sup 2/ and 600 psec (FWHM) respectively. Energy on target ranged from 30 to 90 joules. To explore axial transport a variable thickness beryllium layer is coated onto an aluminum substrate. The effectiveness of electron heat conduction is studied by measuring the fall-off in aluminum x-ray yield (line and continuum) as the beryllium thickness is increased. In addition to the axial transport studies, lateral conduction is examined by placing the axial transport target onto a titanium disk.
