Abstract

An unusual phenomenon, observed in experiments, is studied. X-ray laser bursts of keV energy are emitted from a met al where long-living states, resulting in population inversion, are totally unexpected. Anomalous electron-photon states are revealed to be formed inside the met al. These states are associated with narrow, 10^-11 cm, potential well created by the local reduction of zero point electromagnetic energy. In contrast to analogous van der Waals potential well, leading to attraction of two hydrogen atoms, the depth of the anomalous well is on the order of 1 MeV . The states in that well are long-living which results in population inversion and subsequent laser generation observed. The X-ray emission, occurring in transitions to lower levels, is due to the conversion of zero point electromagnetic energy.

Keywords: Glow discharge; X-ray laser radiation.
