Summary: Numerical simulations demonstrate the possibility of homogeneous heating of 1 mm thick low density foam layer by means of soft X-rays. Absorption coefficients for TAC chemical composition have been calculated and used for simulations of the radiation transport in CHO-plasma Experimental results:

  • Effective conversion of the laser energy in to soft X-rays with near

Planckian spectral distribution at Trad= 30-40 eV; 40J in soft X-rays

  • 1mm thick TAC foam layer of 2 mg/cc density absorbs up to 90%
  • f hohlraum radiation in the photon range 50-1000 eV
  • deformation of the K-absorption edges in heated by X-rays foams

is used as a temperature diagnostics; estimated Te~ 10-15 eV.
