Title: Measurements of line overlap for resonant spoiling of x-ray lasing transitions

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10173360

High-precision measurements are presented of candidate line pairs for resonant spoiling of x-ray lasing transitions in the nickel-like W{sup 46+}, the neon-like Fe{sup 16+}, and the neon-like La{sup 47+} x-ray lasers. Our measurements were carried out with high-resolution crystal spectrometers, and a typical precision of 20--50 ppM was achieved. While most resonances appear insufficient for effective photo-spoiling, two resonance pairs are identified that provide a good overlap. These are the 4p{sub 1/2} {yields} 3d{sub 3/2} transition in nickel-like W{sup 46+} with the 2p{sub 3/2} {yields} 1s{sub 1/2} transition in hydrogenic Al{sup 12+}, and the 3s{sub 1/2} {yields} 2p{sub 3/2} transition in neon-like La{sup 47+} with the 1{sup 1}S{sub 0}-2{sup 1}P{sub 1} line in heliumlike Ti{sup 20+}.
