The observation of X-ray photoelectrons induced by laser-produced plas
ma X-rays has been made for the very first time. Aluminum plasma X-ray
s were monochromatized to 5.25 nm (236 eV) using a multilayer mirror a
nd focused to 50 mum x 70 mum by the Wolter type-I mirror. Au(4f) and
SiO2(2p) photoelectrons were observed with the hemispherical electrost
atic electron energy analyzer. The multichannel detector has been used
to detect the pulse photoelectrons of the required energy bands indiv
idually.
