Abstract
We have measured the production of 
10 keV x rays from
low-density, Ge-doped aerogel targets at the OMEGA laser (Laboratory
for Laser Energetics, University of Rochester). The targets were 1.2mm long by 1.5mm diameter beryllium cylinders filled with Ge-doped (20 atomic percent) SiO2 aerogel. The doped-aerogel density was 4.8 or 6.5 mg/cm3. Forty beams of the OMEGA laser (
= 351 nm) illuminated the two cylindrical faces of the target with a total power of 
18 TW. Ge K-shell x-ray emission was spectrally resolved with a two-channel crystal spectrometer and recorded with temporal resolution with a set of calibrated photoconductive devices (PCDs).
