For example, in hydrogen clusters with the size up to ≈2 μm were produced via a conical nozzle at 25 K, 6 MPa. Micron scale clusters can be also created with another pre-cooled gases, for example Ar or Kr, but for other temperature values. So large clusters diameter value becomes comparable with a waist width of a laser beam produced by the J-KAREN-P laser facility. As a result, an experimental case can occur, when most of the laser energy is absorbed in a single cluster. Such situation can be considered as an interaction of a laser pulse with matter, state of which is close to solid-state. In the presentation plasma X-ray spectra features indicating the described case of high-intensity laser and large-scale-cluster interaction are discussed. They were observed experimentally during irradiation of cryogenic (T = 140 K – 220 K) Ar flows by ultra-intensive (I = 10^22 W/cm^2) femtosecond laser pulses generated by the J-KAREN-P laser. Registered X-ray spectra of produced plasma contains Ar XVIII Ly-α and Ar XVII He-α of comparable intensities. It should be noted that the Ar XVIII Ly-α line has been for the first time observed in laser-matter interaction experiments. It indicates that the density of irradiated matter is high enough to provide a rate of impact ionization process, which is sufficient to create a significant amount of H-like Ar ions. It is a challenge to reach such condition for a pure gas or small clusters. Thus, the observed spectra are considered as an evidence of a large micron cluster existing in the beam waist region., International Conference on High Energy Density Sciences (HEDS2021)}, title = {X-ray spectroscopy evidence of solid-density ultra-relativistic laser plasma in renewable micron-scale cryogenic clusters targets}, year = {2021} }
