Advances in x-ray spectroscopy of laser plasmas

Oks, E. A. (Evgeniĭ Aleksandrovich) (author.).

Summary: This book presents advances in x-ray spectroscopy of plasmas interacting with a laser radiation and laser-induced plasmas. This research is practically important for the quest for the controlled nuclear fusion, for studying matter under extreme conditions, for providing atomic reference data, for laboratory modelling of physical processes in astrophysical objects, and for a better understanding of intense laser-plasma interactions
