Abstract

A study of the effects of photoionization of a laser-produced plasma has been carried out by modeling the fluorescence of resonance lines due to cascades. The photoionization source is the X-ray M-band emission of a laser-produced high-Z plasma and it perturbs a ground state He-like aluminum plasma. Simulations have been performed to study the conditions necessary to maximize the fluorescence and guide future experiments. A collisional-radiative model is used to determine the optimal temperature and density of the pumped plasma, while hydrodynamic models are used to produce realistic plasma gradients and explore the optimum time delay of the photopumping.
