Generation and diagnostics of mixed Ar/Kr clusters. Tunable source of dual-energy X-rays based on the clusters excitation by fs-laser

摘要

Rayleigh scattering technique was proposed for diagnostics of mixed Ar/Kr clusters. Clusterization of krypton fraction was observed. Dual energy X-ray source with tunable line amplitudes, based on laser excitation of the mixed clusters has been developed. It was shown that the relative line yield in dual-energy X-rays can be controlled by selecting of proper fraction of initial gas mixture components.
