Scientific paper

A high-temperature plasma is created when an intense laser pulse is focused onto the surface of a solid. An ultrafast pulse of X-ray radiation is emitted from such a plasma when the laser pulse length is less than a picosecond. A high-speed streak camera detector was used to determine the duration of these X-ray pulses, and computer simulations of the plasma agree with the experimental results. Scaling laws predict that brighter and more efficient X-ray sources will be obtained by the use of more intense laser pulses. These sources can be used for time-resolved X-ray scattering studies and for the development of X-ray lasers.
