Abstract
The x-ray spectrum in the range of Ne-like selenium resonance lines coming from a soft x-ray laser plasma has been used to make a spectroscopic diagnostic of the plasma. We performed a modelization of the emission. Computing intensity ratios of Ne-like resonance lines and Na-like satellite lines, plasma parameters (density and temperature) have been obtained. The temperature deduced from the model is found to be lower than expected in hydrodynamical calculations from other authors.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
