title = "Development of soft x-ray lasers at PALS and their applications in dense plasma physics",
abstract = "We present a review of recent development and applications of son x-ray lasers, undertaken at the PALS Centre. The applications benefit from up to 10-mJ pulses at the wavelength of 21.2 nm. We describe the pumping regimes used to produce this soft x-ray laser, and outline its emission characteristics. A significant fraction of applications carried out using this device includes probing of dense plasmas produced by IR laser pulses and high-energy-density-in- matter experiments. Results obtained in these experiments are reviewed, including x-ray laser probing of dense plasmas, measurements of transmission of focused soft x-ray radiation at intensities of up to 1012 Wcm -2, measurements of IR laser ablation rates of thin foils, and probing high density plasmas by x-ray laser Thomson scattering.",
