The results of experiments on the interaction of a laser plasma with a pulsed gas jet are presented. The charge exchange of ions with neutral particles was realised for the first time under controllable conditions for a density of the reagents of no less than 10{sup 16} cm{sup -3}. The resonance pumping of the C{sup 3+} ion level with n=3 was observed by spectral methods. The structure of the region of intense charge exchange was determined from plasma photographs. The data obtained suggest that experiments on soft X-ray lasing at a C{sup 5+} ion transition are promising. (interaction of laser radiation with matter. laser plasma)
