Notes:
In continuation of the collaborative work between the Institute of Laser Engineering, Osaka and Max–Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik, Garching on x-ray confining cavities, we have performed a new series of experiments using the GEKKO-XII laser facility (4 kJ, 0.9 ns, λ=0.35 μm). The results from two experimental objectives will be presented. The first objective was the direct observation of the x-ray confinement effect in a cavity. A special design target allowed the simultaneous measurement of the x-ray flux emanating from a "closed'' cavity and an "open'' cavity. The second objective was the study of radiation transport mechanism in high- and low-Z materials. Thin foils of Au and Al were used as windows on diagnostic holes of x-ray confining cavities and their emission was compared to that of an open hole. A summary of the main results will be presented.
