Two-dimensional monochromatic images of fast-electron stimulated Ar Kα and He-α x-ray self-emission have recorded a time-integrated map of the extent of Ar(≈6+) and Ar(16+) ions, respectively, within a high density (10(20) cm(-3) atomic density) Ar plasma. This plasma was produced by irradiating a 2 mm wide clustering Ar gas jet with an ultrahigh intensity (10(19) W/cm(2), 50 TW) Ti:sapphire laser operating at 800 nm. Spherically bent quartz crystals in the 200 (for Kα) and 201 (for He-α) planes were used as near-normal incidence reflective x-ray optics. We see that a large (830 μm long) region of plasma emits Kα primarily along the laser axis, while the He-α emission is confined to smaller hot spot (230 μm long) region that likely corresponds to the focal volume of the f/8 laser beam. X-ray spectra from a Bragg spectrometer operating in the von Hamos geometry indicate that the centroids of the Kα and He-α emission regions are separated by approximately 330 μm along the laser axis.
