Abstract
A three-dimensional raytracing code is used to examine the effects of refraction compensation obtained by bending the target along the lasin g axis. The simulations relate to an experiment conducted at Osaka Uni versity, where germanium slab targets, curved along the target length, were irradiated. At large curvatures the normally weak J = 0 --> 1, 1 96 Angstrom line dominated the signal. General agreement with experime nt is obtained.
