Abstract
This letter reports the first study of x-ray emission from plasma prod uced by laser irradiation of gas puff targets. The gas puff targets we re created by the pulsed injection of gas into a vacuum chamber. To ir radiate the gas puff target a Nd-glass laser was used, which generated 1-ns pulses of up to 15 J in energy. Spatial, spectral, and temporal measurements show that intense soft x-ray emission from the laser-irra diated gas puff target is produced.
