Gamble-II Imploding Sodium Plasma. I. Calibration of the Helium-Like Resonance Line as a Pump Source and Detection of Fluorescence in Neon.

Abstract

Numerical simulations are performed describing the behavior and properties of an imploding cylindrical annular sodium plasma. Special attention is devoted toward calibrating the power radiated in the heliumlike resonance line for application as a pump source in x-ray laser experiments. Detection of fluorescence in a nearby neon plasma is also discussed. Keywords: Imploding; Sodium plasma; Resonance line; Pump; X-ray laser.
