Development of rare gas cryo-target for laser-plasma x-ray source

摘要

In order to realize a high-intensity ultrafast soft x-ray source, we are now developing a cryo-target of rare gases for a laser plasma. Making closely packed cryo-condensed rare gases enables us to operate a laser plasma x-ray source with Ar and Kr targets for more than 2-3 hr without any debris. In addition, these sources can be run without any supplementary pumps.
