  • Analysis of computational savings using cylindrical escape probabilities for recombination x-ray lasers and planar geometry for collisional x-ray lasers.

    • Main Results:

    • Escape probability formulas are effective for isolated lines and the highest-energy line in interacting groups.
    • Cylindrical escape probabilities yield major computational savings for recombination x-ray laser schemes.
    • Substantial savings for collisional x-ray lasers are achieved through coarser spatial zoning in regions of steep velocity gradients.

    Conclusions:

    • Escape probability methods provide accurate and computationally efficient solutions for photon trapping.
    • These methods are particularly advantageous for specific x-ray laser regimes and parameter studies.
    • The presented line-transfer algorithm enhances the modeling of radiative processes in plasmas.
