Characteristics of rapidly recombining plasmas suitable for high-gain X-ray laser action
Recombining plasmas produced by picosecond laser pulses are characterized by measuring ratio of intensities of resonance lines of H- and He-like ions in the plasmas. It is found that the rapidly recombining plasmas produced by picosecond laser pulses are suitable for high-gain operation.
