Abstract
We report recent experimental results obtained at LOA on a femtosecond driv en collisional x-ray laser. The experiment has consisted in studying the am plification of the 4d(9)5p-4d(9)5d line at 41.8 nm in Pd-like xenon. This l asing emission has been observed to dominate the output spectra when focusi ng a 20 TW 10Hz Ti: sapphire laser system in a few mm gas cell. The influen ce of several parameters on the x-ray laser emission is presented. A compar ison with high harmonic sources is drawn.
