Abstract:
The spatial distribution and temporal development of the gain in XeCl and KrF were studied in a wide aperture X-ray preionized excimer amplifier. In XeCl, the gain assumed a minimum in the centre of the discharge and the effective discharge width markedly increased with time. The gain in KrF showed less prominent spatial and temporal variation.
