AbstractAbstract
[en] The direction of light scattering and X-ray emission by a dense plasma is investigated experimentally; the dense plasma is produced by focusing a linear-polarized laser beam (lambda=1.06mcm) onto a solid target surface at a flux density of q(<=)2x1014 w/cm2 and pulse duration of tau=3 nsec. It is found that at such flux the plasma reflects a portion of unabsorbed light (of the order of several per cent) both at normal and at inclined laser beam incidence on the surface of aluminium and polyethylene targets; a considerable portion of overemitted (reflected) light does not hit the space angle of the focusing system at normal incidence. Investigation of second-harmonic emission (lambda=0.53 mcm) in time, shows that the second-harmonic intensity does not oscillate in time in contrast to reflected emission at first frequency. Anisotropy of the X-quantum number (about 200 to 300%) in directions perpendicular and parallel to the laser beam polarization vector has been discovered at the energy range 2 to 4 KeV. Experimental data are discussed and interpreted on the basis of presentations of the parametric theory of high-power emission effect on plasma. In conclusion it is noted that the data obtained indicate the anomalous character of light power flux interactions with a laser plasma. X-ray measurements in a laser plasma and a detailed comparison of experimental data with theoretic results reveal not only such a rough plasma characteristic as electron temperature, but also details of the electron distribution function in a wide range of the electron velocity
