Abstract The complex problem of refraction in collisionally pumped x-ray lasers is examined through a three-dimensional ray-tracing code, used as a post-processor to a 1 1/2-dimensional hydro/atomic code, to generate experimentally observable beam characteristics such as divergence and output intensity. A detailed description of the model is presented. Results from the model are compared with a series of experiments carried out at Rutherford Appleton Laboratories (RAL), where germanium slab targets of lengths 0.9–2.2 cm were irradiated. Good agreement between theory and experiment is found.
