Coherent X-Rays by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

Abstract

Substantial progress has been made towards the realization of a short-wavelength charge-exchange laser which is driven by pulsed capacitor discharge. Parallel experimental and theoretical efforts have led to the point that observation of laser action is believed to be imminent. The basic resonant charge-exchange reaction studied is He(+) + Cs He* + CS(+). (Author
