Abstract

We report on the spectra of x-rays emitted from dense plasma generated via irradiation of thin stainless steel foils by ultra-relativistic femtosecond laser pulses (intensities ~3 × 10²¹ W/cm²). Kinetic modelling was used to estimate electron plasma density and temperature, demonstrating T_e ~2.1 keV for N_e ~5 × 10²² cm⁻³ in the hottest emission region. Thus, it is experimentally demonstrated for the first time that the laser pulse of over 10²¹ W/cm² intensity is absorbed neither in the solid density plasma nor in a pre-plasma of a common critical density, but in the matter of so called relativistic critical density.
