Soft X-ray Measurements of High Intensity Kilohertz Laser-Solid Interactions

POSTER

Abstract

Relativistic laser-solid interactions are a pathway to producing bright, attosecond duration, x-rays. The radiation produced is correlated to the driving laser and the specific plasma conditions. We present measurements of this radiation emission from a high-resolution spectrometer. We demonstrate how features in the emission correspond to plasma characteristics such as electron temperature.
