Abstract

A time-resolved X-ray conversion efficiency campaign was conducted at CEA/Limeil–Valenton on the PHEBUS laser, with Au planar targets. The calibrated diagnostic DEMIXART has measured X-ray emissions driven by shaped laser pulses. The results have been analyzed with the “physicist” 1D1/2 hydrodynamical code CHIVAS, where improved transport coefficients have been implemented. The influence of the degeneracy and solid/liquid corrections on various parameters is shown. Other significant effects due to focal spot shapes and lateral conduction are quantified with the FCI2 hydroradiative code of CEA/DRIF.
