X-Ray Laser Program Report for FY 1989

Abstract

This report details the progress achieved by the Radiation Hydrodynamics and Pulsed Power Physics Branches in X-Ray Laser experiments and modeling during FY 1989 Significant experimental accomplishments in photopumping of neon by both neon and sodium to produce inversions via either the Auger effect or resonant photopumping are described in the first section. Subsequent sections present in detail modeling of neon-neon photopumping, recombination lasers and development of a new diagnostic for neonlike x-ray laser plasmas. (jhd)
