Abstract

In a series of experiments done at the Laboratory for Laser Energetics of the University of Rochester, Kr/Ar- and Ar-filled polymer shell targets were imploded using the 24 beam (351 nm) 2 KJ Omega laser system. We present results from the analysis of the X-ray line spectra recorded on these experiments. In particular, we discuss the Stark broadening of L-shell spectra, its application to plasma diagnostics, and the advantages of recording time-resolved spectra. We also show results from radiation-hydrodynamics modeling of these experiments.
