Soft x-ray laser interferometry of dense plasma jets collimated by radiation cooling

ORAL

Abstract

The increase in collimation of laboratory plasma jets created with short laser pulses of low energy ($<$= 1 J) energy with target atomic number was studied using soft x-ray interferometry and hydrodynamic code simulations.
