Abstract
The conversion of intense laser light into thermal X-ray radiation in laser-induced plasmas is investigated using a one-dimensional radiation hydrodynamics code MULTI. The conversion efficiency and spectral distribution of the X-ray radiation are optimized. By optimizing the thickness of targets, a unique plasma enviroument can be obtained. This is very important for simulation of astrophysical process at laboratories.
