The development of intense x-ray sources and sensitive gated detectors is needed for the diagnosis of ICF implosions. A laser plasma x-ray source, with an instantaneous power of 200–500 MW in the range 2.7–3 keV, was used to evaluate a specific detector configuration. The detector, consisting of a PET crystal and a MCP framing camera, was used to obtain radiographs of NaCl-doped targets. Applications are currently signal limited, indicating the need for brighter x-ray sources and/or more sensitive detection systems.
