  • Descrição: Inner-shell [Formula: see text] X-ray lasers have been created by pumping gaseous, solid, and liquid targets with the intense X-ray output of free-electron lasers (FELs). For gaseous targets lasing relies on the creation of [Formula: see text]-shell core holes on a time-scale short compared with filling via Auger decay. In the case of solid and liquid density systems, collisional effects will also be important, affecting not only populations but also line-widths, both of which impact the degree of overall gain, and its duration. However, to date, such collisional effects have not been extensively studied. We present here initial simulations using the CCFLY code of inner-shell lasing in solid-density Mg, where we self-consistently treat the effects of the incoming FEL radiation and the atomic kinetics of the Mg system, including radiative, Auger and collisional effects. We find that the combination of collisional population of the lower states of the lasing transitions and broadening of the lines precludes lasing on all but the [Formula: see text] of the initially cold system. Even assuming instantaneous turning on of the FEL pump, we find the duration of the gain in the solid system to be sub-femtosecond. This article is part of the theme issue 'Dynamic and transient processes in warm dense matter'.
