Abstract

Current experimental studies of the 4.5 keV X-ray source are focused on the properties of single-pulse Xe(L) spectra recorded with a von Hamos spectrometer equipped with a mica crystal and a linear CCD array. Observations of single-pulse Xe(L) spectra under conditions of strong amplification in the channel have indicated the presence of spectral hole-burning on the Xe³⁴⁺ and Xe³⁵⁺ 3d→2p transition arrays in the λ∼2.84-2.88 Å range.
