Time-Resolved Transmission Measurements of Warm Dense Iron Plasma

Transmission measurements of warm dense iron plasma are reported over the photon energy range of 400–1200 eV, including the strong 2p–3d structures. One-dimensional hydrodynamic simulation is performed to estimate the plasma conditions: temperatures of several eV and densities of about 0.1 g/cm^3. By using the simulated temperature and density, the calculations of the transmission spectra are performed and compared with the time-resolved experimental results.
