We report the first studies on the formation of an elongated plasma column suitable for X-ray laser experiments, using a gas puff target irradiated with a high-power laser. The gas puff targets, produced by pulsed injection of a small amount of gas from a high-pressure solenoid valve through a nozzle in the form of a slit, have been characterized by optical interferometry and X-ray backlighting. The formation of a hot plasma column up to 30-mm-long is demonstrated. The spatial uniformity of the column was monitored by means of an X-ray pinhole camera. XUV spectra measurements for SF6 gas puff targets show predominant 3–2 line of hydrogenic fluorine (λ = 8.1 nm), however, only linear increasing of its intensity with the target length was observed.

Abstract Resorcinol/formaldehyde (RF) foam resin is an attractive material as a low-density target in high-power laser–plasma experiments because of its fine network structure, transparency in the visible region, and low-Z element (hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen) composition. In this study, we developed disk-shaped RF foam and deuterated RF foam targets with 40–200 μm thickness and approximately 100 mg/cm3 density having a network structure from 100 nm to a few micrometers cell size. By deuteration, the polymerization rate was drastically slowed down owing to kinetic isotope effects. These targets were used in high-power laser experiments where a megaelectronvolt proton beam was successfully generated.
