Wavelengths of neon-like 3p → 3s X-ray laser transitions

This paper presents the wavelengths of the neon-like 3p → 3s laser lines which have been observed in both lasing and nonlasing plasmas and compares the experimental wavelengths with relativistic multi-configuration Hartree-Fock calculations in order to estimate the wavelengths for these lines in all neon-like ions between S6+ and Xe44+. The seven 3p → 3s transitions which have been observed to lase in some neon-like ions are considered in this work.
