Abstract
We present results of recent experiments to measure the plasma conditi ons present in a neon-like x-ray laser plasma. We measure the time-res olved K-shell emission spectra of low Z tracer material doped into a y ttrium exploding foil target. We determine the plasma conditions by an alysing the K-shell emission spectra assuming a quasi-steady state app roximation. Two-dimensional LASNEX hydrodynamics simulations are in re asonable agreement with these time-resolved electron temperatures.
