Stainless steel sample analysis. (A) EDX spectrum; (B, C) X-ray spectra obtained by a single shot irradiation, using the laser-based sources produced with a low Z (Al, blue) and higher Z (Cu, red) target respectively. (D) Measured integrated number of counts in the respective Fe, Ni and Zn Kα peaks (presented in dots) obtained from the spectra depicted in (B, C). Geant4 simulation results are presented with asterisks.
