Abstract

The calculations of 1014–1015 W/cm2 laser interaction with volume-structured agar-agar and Cu targets were performed. The influence of intrinsic X-ray plasma radiation on the propagation of thermal waves in such targets was investigated. It is shown that the velocity of heat transfer in agar-agar foam targets is increased due to X-ray preheating when a thin Cu layer is added.
