Title: Extreme Ultraviolet Imaging of Electron Heated Targets in Petawatt Laser Experiments

Journal Article · · IEEE Transactions of Plasma Physics Imaging , vol. 36, no. 4, August 1, 2008, pp. 1126-1127
OSTI ID:943812

The study of the transport of electrons, and the flow of energy into a solid target or dense plasma, is instrumental in the development of fast ignition inertial confinement fusion. An extreme ultraviolet (XUV) imaging diagnostic at 256 eV and 68 eV provides information about heating and energy deposition within petawatt laser-irradiated targets. XUV images of several irradiated solid targets are presented.
