Abstract

The mass ablation rate and ablation pressure on laser-irradiated spherical microshells were measured using the space-resolved X-ray spectroscopy. A new method for the study of the ablation by means of the Doppler shifted X-ray images is proposed. The time-resolved measurements of X-ray emission from layered microtargets allow us to determine the heat front penetration through the microshell wall.
