Abstract

1.3-keV X-ray backlighting of microballoons imploded with 0.8-TW, 50-ps Nd-glass-laser pulses has been performed early during the irradiation. Transmission measurements have been interpreted in terms of fast-electron energy deposition. Targets with the thinnest walls are shown to be pre-heated up to more than 200 eV.
