Apart from their intrinsic interest, plasma physics processes are
important because they affect the coupling of the laser energy into
laser-irradiated targets. Recently, new gas-filled targets have been
developed to create large mm-size plasmas for the study of
stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and stimulated Raman
scattering (SRS). We present x-ray images and x-ray spectra to
characterize these targets, which show that the plasmas are
homogeneous, have electron densities of ~ 10 21 cm-3, and attain
electron temperatures of -3 keV. We also present SBS
measurements to demonstrate how systematic studies of physical
phenomena can be performed using these targets.1
