Summary
This Chapter focuses on the investigation of fast electron transport studies in solids irradiated at relativistic laser intensities. Experimental techniques based upon space-resolved spectroscopy are presented in view of their application to both ultrashort Kα X-ray sources and fast ignition studies. Spectroscopy based upon single-photon detection is unveiled as a complementary diagnostic technique, alternative to well established techniques based upon bent crystals. Application of this technique to the study of X-ray fluorescence emission from fast electron propagation in multilayer targets is reported and explored as an example case.
