We report on experiments performed to characterize a short pulse, high intensity, laser-produced x-ray source for diffraction studies. These experiments were performed using the Titan laser at the Jupiter Laser facility with a 40ps pulse length at intensities varying from 10̂16 to 10̂18 W/cm̂2. The targets were 12 micron thick silver foils. The effects of the laser pulse energy, target angle and spot size on x-ray emission were measured using single photon counting cameras CCD cameras and bremsstrahlung spectrometers arranged upstream, downstream, and orthogonal to the laser. Integrated Tiger Series (ITS), a Monte Carlo code, was used to model the K-shell spectra and bremsstrahlung emission from the target, as well as the response of the bremsstrahlung spectrometers. Absolute k-alpha photon yields and k-alpha to bremsstrahlung ratios as a function of laser pulse energy and the angle between the laser and the target surface were determined; these data are crucial for designing picosecond x-ray diffraction experiments on Omega EP and the NIF.
