Abstract
The possibility of enhancing inner-shell x-ray emission, especially Kα emission, by femtosecond-laser irradiation of solid cones instead of foils was investigated theoretically. In a model for hot electron (HE) transport and Kα x-ray generation, Kα emission from laser-irradiated solid cones and foils is investigated. As a complementarity to the model, the contributions from electric and magnetic fields generated by the HE current in solid cones and foils are discussed. The results indicate that the efficiency of HE energy conversion to Kα photons is improved and the optimum HE temperature is increased.
