Generation of photoionized plasmas in the laboratory of relevance to accretion-powered x-ray sources using keV line radiation

We describe laboratory experiments to generate x-ray photoionized plasmas of relevance to accretion-powered x-ray sources such as neutron star binaries and quasars, with significant improvements over previous work. A key quantity is referenced, namely the photoionization parameter, defined as ξ = 4π...
