Description
We reveal from simulations that in longitudinally pumped Ni-like Mo x-ray lasers, deformation of the temporal gain profile can occur, causing the x-ray laser pulse to have a steep rising edge. This is shown to be due to the rapid change in the inverse bremsstrahlung absorption when the main picosecond pulse pumps the cold preplasma
