Popis: We present results of recent experiments to measure the plasma conditions present in a neon-like x-ray laser plasma. We measure the time-resolved K -shell emission spectra of low Z tracer material doped into a yttrium exploding foil target. We determine the plasma conditions by analysing the K -shell emission spectra assuming a quasi-steady state approximation. Two dimensional LASNEX hydrodynamics simulations are in reasonable agreement with these time-resolved electron temperatures.
