摘要
Analysis of an ablative capillary discharge plasma as a possible pre-formed active medium of the collisionally pumped soft X-ray lasers (XRLs) working within the transient inversion scheme is presented. Temporal dependence of the plasma column resistance is compared with a ID-model used in the numerical simulations of the plasma dynamics. Numerical analysis of the laser absorption determines the pump parameter range for efficient excitation of the longitudinally pumped hybrid XRLs.
