Development of a multi keV X-ray backlighter source based on laser irradiation of extended cluster gases

High intensity laser-cluster interactions have been studied for over two decades and have demonstrated extremely e fficient coupling of the incident laser energy to the high local density extended cluster medium, launching a strong radiative shock of interest for laboratory astrophysics studies. Las...
