A theoretical time-dependent analysis of a high-average power copper HyBrID laser is proposed, pointing out the time-varying properties of beam quality parameters and brightness. Numerical data are compared to experimental measurements performed on a 80 W average power copper HyBrID laser. A significant improvement of the beam quality with time is put in evidence
