FIG. 1 FIG. 1: (a) Top-view schematic, the silicon sample is heated by X-rays and expands to low density. X-ray power and imaging characterize the absolute X-ray irradiance on the sample. (b) Side-view photograph showing the Z-pinch radiator and the sample locations. (c) Measured spectral irradiance (black). For comparison, typical AGN powermore » law spectra with the same Si ionizing flux as the experiment with 1.3 (red) and 2.3 (blue) exponent. (d) The CH-tamped silicon mounted on an edge-free holder enables self-emission collection, with a 3mm tall limiting aperture to avoid plasma edges (see Fig. 1(b)). The CH plastic extends 1mm beyond the Si length L=3, 6 and 12 mm, preventing lateral expansion. (e) Absorption spectral image (linear scale). (f) Si plasma self-emission image collected at 90° from the absorption line-of-sight (log scale).« less
