Contribution of the Charge-Exchange Process for Inverted Population in a Recombining Plasma
Abstract
We have numerically determined that high gain for the laser oscillation of the CVI 13.5 nm line is promoted by the contribution of the charge-exchange process, C6++H(1S)→C5++H+. In particular, the contribution shows a notable effect in some lower-temperature (∼ 10 eV) recombining plasmas.
