An Nd:YAG pulsed laser was employed to irradiate a nitrogen gas-pufftarget. The interaction gives rise to the emission of soft X-ray (SXR) radiation in the 'water window' spectral range (λ = 2.3÷4.4 nm). This source was already successfully employed to perform the SXR microscopy. In this work, a Silicon Carbide (SiC) detector was used to characterize the nitrogen plasma emission in terms of gas-pufftarget parameters.

Abstract
An Nd:YAG pulsed laser was employed to irradiate a nitrogen gas-pufftarget. The interaction gives rise to the emission of soft X-ray (SXR) radiation in the 'water window' spectral range (λ = 2.3÷4.4 nm). This source was already successfully employed to perform the SXR microscopy. In this work, a Silicon Carbide (SiC) detector was used to characterize the nitrogen plasma emission in terms of gas-pufftarget parameters. The measurements show applicability of SiC detectors for SXR plasma characterization.File in questo prodotto:
