Abstract
The operation of a Ni-like Mo x-ray laser at with a repetition rate of has been demonstrated. The laser has been pumped applying the grazing incidence pump arrangement, where a short (picoseconds) pulse irradiates a Mo plasma column generated by a long (a few hundred picoseconds) pulse. The delayed short pulse is incident at a grazing angle on the plasma to heat it efficiently. We used a total energy of less than ( in the long and in the short pulse) in a line focus of by .
