Phys. Rev. A 72, 043825 (2005) [7 pages]Plasma-kinetics perspective on a collisional Ni-like x-ray laser pumped by a single profiled laser pulseReceived 22 February 2005; revised 27 April 2005; published 27 October 2005 Some aspects of plasma kinetics in a Ni-like Ag soft x-ray laser have been analyzed, starting from the real shape of the pump laser pulse measured with a third-order correlator. The role for pump energy reduction of a complex pump pulse structure at a low intensity level has been identified, and the modeling results on the gain lifetime correspond well with the length of the output x-ray pulse measured in the experiment. © 2005 The American Physical Society URL:
