Abstract
Experimental measurements of the spectral distribution of keV X-ray energy conversion of the M-shell emission from gold plasma produced by a 4 GW, 5 nS Nd:glass laser are presented. At a laser intensity of 2×1013 W/cm2, the overall X-ray yield for 2.0 ⩽hv⩽3.6 keV is determined to be 0.1% of the laser energy. The effect of the keV X-ray spectral distribution on radiation preheat is discussed
