Abstract :
Summary form only given. We will present results for the x-ray production from the irradiation and interaction of a 25 ps , 1-Kj , 1?? laser with a thin Iron target. The conversion efficiency to x-rays, the spectrum as well as the time history will be presented. The usefulness of such an x-ray source for backlighting imploded capsules will also be presented and discussed.
