Abstract
The gain on the 3S - 3P transitions of Ne-like ions produced upon material heating by high-power picosecond laser pulses was numerically simulated. Th e dependence of the gain on the average value of the nuclear charge Z and t he irradiation intensity was investigated. The shortest wavelength of X-ray s that can be produced from the plasma of Ne-like ions was predicted.
