K-Shell Spectra from CH-Tamped Aluminum Layers Irradiated with Intense Femtosecond Laser Pulses

X-ray spectra of H-like and He-like aluminum ions from aluminum buried in CH layers irradiated with 30 fs, 200 TW laser are measured. The electron temperature and density are derived from line ratios of the He-α resonance line to its satellite lines. Typical temperatures of 490-646 eV and electron densities up to 7×10²⁰ cm^-3 are obtained. The results show that the electron density increases and temperature decreases with the increasing CH thickness.
