Utilizing a new average atom code, we calculate the index of refraction in C, Al, Ti, and Pd
plasmas and show many conditions over which the bound-electron contribution dominates …

A relativistic many-body method is used to calculate energy and transition rates for multipole
transitions in many-electron ions. This method is based on relativistic many-body …

Soft X-ray lasing across a Ni-like plasma gain-medium requires optimum electron
temperature and density for attaining to the Ni-like ion stage and for population inversion in …

Transition rates, oscillator strengths and line strengths are calculated for electric-dipole (E1)
transitions between odd-parity 3s 2 3p 6 3d 9 4l 1, 3s 2 3p 5 3d 10 4l 2 and 3s3p 6 3d 10 4l …

We present our fast ionisation routine used to study transient soft X-ray lasers with ARWEN,
a two-dimensional hydrodynamic code incorporating adaptative mesh refinement (AMR) …

The transition energies, transition rates and absorption oscillator strengths of Kα x-ray from S
XV to S VIII have been calculated by multiconfiguration Dirac–Fock and relativistic …

In the early 1980s, the X-ray laser program required a new level of understanding and
measurements of the atomic physics of highly charged ions. The electron beam ion trap …

The work presented in this thesis investigates the characterization of laser produced
plasmas and develops applications in opacity experiments using plasma emission as a back …

Results of experimental investigation of near-field spatial distribution and time history of the
emission produced by the saturated Ne-line zinc laser are presented. We compare the near …

Abstract The Ni-like Ag 13.9 nm x-ray laser has been previously demonstrated that the
higher gain near critical surface contributes little to the amplification of the x-ray laser …
