Abstract
An intense soft X-ray pulse of radiation approximate to 1 TW/cm(2) gen erates in low (less than 50 mg/cm(3)) density foam nonlinear radiative heat waves, which propagate with a velocity several times higher than the sound velocity. A foam density of 5 mg/cm(3) was achieved in expe riments. The experimental measurements are compared with the one-dimen sional computer simulations results.
