Popis: Picosecond time-resolved x-ray spectroscopy is used to measure the spectral line shift of the 1s2p-1s^{2} transition in He-like Al ions as a function of the instantaneous plasma conditions. The plasma temperature and density are inferred from the Al He_{α} complex using a nonlocal-thermodynamic-equilibrium atomic physics model. The experimental spectra show a linearly increasing redshift for electron densities of 1-5×10^{23}cm^{-3}. The measured line shifts are broadly consistent with a generalized analytic line-shift model based on calculations of a self-consistent field ion-sphere model.
