Abstract

Within accurate atomic kinetic model it is shown that the inversion state of heavy Ne-like ions in plasma is possible at electron densities n_e greater than 10²³ cm^-3 if electron temperature is high enough (T_e greater than E_ioniz/2). Near optimum plasma conditions are found for Ne-like silver lasers. New effective lasing transitions in Ne- like silver are found. Large ASE effect (gL greater than 100) is predicted for Ne-like silver plasma produced by a powerful short-pulse drive laser.
