Abstract

The chlorine Heα radiation of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was investigated with respect to X-ray scattering experiments on dense plasmas. The X-ray source was a laser-produced plasma that was observed with a highly reflective highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) crystal spectrometer as it is used in current x-ray scattering experiments on dense plasmas. The underlying dielectronic satellites of Heα cannot be resolved, therefore the plasma was observed at the same time with a focusing spectrometer with spatial resolution. To reconstruct the spectrum a simple model to calculate the spectral line emission based on dielectronic recombination and inner shell excitation of helium- and lithium-like ions was used. The analysis shows that chlorine dielectronic satellite emission is intense compared to Heα in laser-produced chlorine plasmas with a temperature of 300 eV in this wavelength range of Δλ = 0.07 Å (ΔE = 43 eV). The method proposed in this paper allows deducing experimentally the role of the underlying dielectronic satellites in the scatter spectrum measured with a HOPG crystal spectrometer. It is shown that the dielectronic satellites can be neglected when the scattering is measured with low spectral resolution in the non-collective regime. They are of major importance in the collective scatter regime where a high spectral resolution is necessary.
