Abstract: An x-ray spectroscopic determination was made of the distribution of the plasma electron temperature T_e(x) in a channel formed by the interaction of a nanosecond laser pulse with a dense gas target. The distribution T_e(x), combined with the plasma channel parameters measured earlier, could be used to develop and check the validity of a theoretical model of the observed effect.
