Abstract
New fields of X-ray source applications (X-ray laser and high order harmoni c generation) could appear if an intensity higher than 10(12) Wcm(-2) is re ached. Following this goal, we have started a complete investigation of the X-ray beam wavefront both numerically and experimentally. The first XUV wa vefront sensor has been developed and tested on different XUV sources. For a better comprehension of the experimental results, a numerical work (ray-t race code) has been performed. We present and discuss the first results obt ained on the X-ray laser at 21.2 nm.
