Abstract

The results of numerical simulations of fast electrons interaction with matter, calculated yield and angular distribution of bremsstrahlung and fluorescence K-α X-ray radiation and generation of electromagnetic fields, carried out by ERA, PM2D, and PRIZMA codes for the state of experiments on interaction of ultra-short laser pulses with high-Z targets at intensity of 1016−1018 W/cm2 are presented. Spherical targets with conical hollows and conical targets of high-Z matter are proposed for experiments with picosecond lasers to increase the brightness of hard X-ray sources.
