title: Design and performance of a new line focus geometry for xray laser experiments.
abstract: A novel optical line focus system using a lens and off-axis mirror combination which allows a high quality line focus to be obtained has been developed for x-ray laser research. By irradiation of fiber and thin foil targets with a high power laser various experimental observations show the excellent performance of this new scheme.
