H and He-like Al Lines and their inner-shell satellites were obtained from Al and Polyethylene layered targets irradiated by a Nd-glass laser at a power flux of 2.1013 W/cm2 . Spatial resolution was achieved using a flat crystal spectrograph incorporating a wire shadow technique. Spatial profiles of Te and ne in the expanding plasma were deduced from line intensity ratios.

By varying the Al layer location in the target, the non-thermal origin of Al Kα radiation is investigated and the penetration depth of the heat wave front is determined. Comparison is made with classical transport mechanisms.
