Acknowledgement

We gratefully acknowledge assistance and discussions with Johannes Juemmler, Gerd Priebe and Antonio Lucianetti at the realization of our X-ray laser research. Their work contributed to the results partly reported in this text. Our appreciations go also to the colleagues and friends from the international X-ray laser community, especially to J.J. Rocca, J. Dunn and G.J. Pert, for helpful discussions. We are also very grateful to M.H. Edwards for his help on the manuscript improvement.

Our research activities were partly supported by a DFG-Schwerpunkt-Projekt, the European Network Program as well as the German–Israeli GIF- and GILCULT-projects.
