Satellite and opacity effects on resonance line shapes produced from short-pulse laser heated foils

Description

We measure the He-like, time-resolved emission from two types of thin foils (1) consisting of 250 Angst of carbon together with 250 Angst of aluminum and (2) 500 Angst aluminum, illuminated with a 150 fs laser pulse at an intensity of 1019 W/cm2. Dielectronic satellite contributions to the resonance transitions 1s2-1s2p(1P), 1s2-1s3p(1P), and 1s2-1s4p(1P) are modeled using the configuration-averaged code AVERROES and is found to be significant for all three resonance lines. The effects of opacity are inferred from the data and found to be significant only in the 1s2-1s2p(1P)
