Influence of the temporal contrast on the characteristics of laser-produced ultrafast Kα Hard X-ray source

Vadim Tcheremiskine, Yasmina Azamoum

Characteristics of the intense ultrafast quazi-monochromatic X-ray source at 17.4 keV generated by a multi-TW femtosecond Ti:Sa-laser beam ($\lambda$=800 nm) tightly focused on a thick m…
