Abstract

X-ray spectra in the energy range (12 to 60) keV were recorded by a transmission crystal spectrometer from targets irradiated by the 60 beam, difference} 30 kJ, OMEGA laser. The targets consisted of planar silver and goldfoils, spherical gold targets, and krypton-filled CH shells. The time-integrated spectral images were recorded by a CCd sensor with a phsophor conversion screen. Emission features identified in the spectra include the silver Kα line at 22.1 keV and the helium-like krpton resonance line series at (13 to 17) keV.
