Ni-like collisional lasers using moderate power laser drivers

The hydrodynamic behavior of a Ta exploding foil using a double pulse in order to achieve favorable conditions for a Ni-like collisional x-ray laser with moderate driver energy have been examined in detail. It is shown that plasma conditions required for high gain lasing can be produced with ×4 redu...
