Ultra-short bursts of hard X-ray radiation are generated by interaction of high-contrast femtosecond laser pulses with a jet of liquid Ga. The X-ray emission shows a strong dependence on the angle of incidence and polarization of the laser beam, consistent with the processes of resonant absorption and vacuum heating. As much as 60% of the total X-ray emission consists of Ga K-alpha, radiation (9.22-9.25 keV) with a photon flux of 6 x 10(9) photons/(s srad). Using this novel X-ray source, static diffraction patterns from a GaAs(I 11) crystal were recorded with an acquisition time of 2 s.
