Abstract
Photo-resonant pumping of X-ray lasers requires close coincidence of a strong emission line with a suitable absorbing transition. We use a high-resolution crystal spectrometer to verify five coincidences, one of which has apparently not yet appeared in published work. All but one of the coincidences are found to lie within one linewidth. With respect to X-ray laser photo-pumping three of the five coincidences seem to be promising candidates.
