The radiative characteristics of complex multiply charged ions are reviewed and studied. The rates of various mechanisms of radiation losses in a homogeneous plasma are determined over wide ranges of electron temperatures 10–105 eV, electron densities up to ∼10 24 cm −3 , and atomic numbers z N ∼10–80. The efficiency of conversion of laser radiation into x rays is considered in the photon energy range higher than ∼0.1 keV. It is found that for elements with z N ∼30 the radiation losses may represent a substantial (∼1/4) fraction of the absorbed energy.
