“…Although our density estimate was obtained using a simple approximation of the plasma expansion, it is consistent with the simulation results obtained using more sophisticated models of the expansion and cooling of the plasma [28]. It should be also noted that even when using a plasma mirror, the laser will interact with preplasma created by the remaining laser pedestal.…”

“…A very simple model of cluster evolution, in which a spherical target (cluster) of radius R 0 was instantly heated to a temperature T 0 , and then expands at a constant speed v 0 was used. The similar model has recently been successfully used for diagnostics of solid targets laser plasma (see, for example, [24]). Within this model, the plasma density depends on time, as follows:…”

The generation of highly charged ions in laser plasmas is usually associated with collisional ionization processes that occur in electron–ion collisions. An alternative ionization channel caused by tunnel ionization in an optical field is also capable of effectively producing highly charged ions with ionization potentials of several kiloelectronvolts when the laser intensity q > 1020 W/cm2. It is challenging to clearly distinguish the impacts of the optical field and collisional ionizations on the evolution of the charge state of a nonequilibrium plasma produced by the interaction of high-intensity, ultrashort PW-class laser pulses with dense matter. In the present work, it is shown that the answer to this question can be obtained in some cases by observing the X-ray spectral lines caused by the transition of an electron into the K-shell of highly charged ions. The time-dependent calculations of plasma kinetics show that this is possible, for example, if sufficiently small clusters targets with low-density background gas are irradiated. In the case of Ar plasma, the limit of the cluster radius was estimated to be R0 = 0.1 μm. The calculation results for argon ions were compared with the results of the experiment at the J-KAREN-P laser facility at QST-KPSI.
