Theoretical X-Ray Conversion Efficiencies and Spectra of Single Element Plane Targets Heated by Hundred Picosecond Light Pulses from Neodymium Glass Lasers.

摘要

A non-LTE rate equation computer program was combined with a program which simulates the heating of laser-heated targets in plane geometry. The hydrodynamic program calculates the absorption of laser light,the electron and ion temperatures--allowing for electron heat conduction--and the densities each time-step and feeds these values to the rate equation program. The rate equation program gives to the hydrodynamic program for each time-step a source-sink term for each hot zone above 20eV,representing the net emission and adsorption of x rays. The calculations presented involve approximately ten hot and ten cool zones.
