Abstract

Laser plasma interactions, plasma's hydrodynamics, and x-ray emissions in half-cylindrical target have been studied. It is found that this kind of target geometry can converge plasma expanding along the radial direction and form uniform flat distributions of electron density. Based on the unique characteristics of this kind of target, we suggest it be used for x-ray laser research. We also suggest a new configuration of two laser heating for x-ray lasers.
