ABSTRACT
Figure 3a shows the Ne-like Ni X-ray laser energy output dependence on the arrival time of the peak of the main pulse relative to the peak of the pre-pulse from experiment [15] and a numerical simulation with RAYTRACE post-processing of the space-time output from the EHYBRID code. Different values of the correction factor/equal to 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 have been used in the EHYBRID code. Figure 3b shows the simulated output of the Ne-like Ni X-ray laser with different values of/equal to 0.2, 0.3 and 0.5 superimposed on some single shot experimental Ne-like Ni X-ray laser outputs. Good agreement between the simulations and the experimental points within the estimated experimental errors is obtained with/= 0.3 (figure 3a and b).
