Abstract

Backlight sources created from short pulse lasers are useful probes of high energy density plasmas because of their short duration and brightness. Recent work has shown that the production of Kα radiation can be manipulated by the size and geometry of the targets. Empirical relationships suggest that the electron reflux in the target plays an important role in the heating of these targets to create x-ray backlight sources.
