Abstract
This report presents the results of a theoretical study and 2D numerical simulations of the interaction of subnanosecond iodine laser pulses with an Al-foil target. The target and laser parameters correspond to the experimental conditions of the “PERUN” iodine laser facility (IP, Prague: pulse energy <50 J, ∼300 psec, focal spot d ∼100 µm; target: Al foil of thickness 30 µm). The simulations were made by using the two-dimensional Lagrange code “ATLANT” (FIAN-IMM, Moscow). We varied the diameter of the focal spot and studied the dependence of the plasma parameters (temperature, x-ray yield, etc.) on the laser flux density and the diameter of focal spots. The numerical results were compared with experimental data.
