Studies of Collisional and Nonlinear Radiative Processes for Development of Coherent UV and XUV Sources
Abstract
Studies of the interaction of matter with high intensity radiation (greater than or equal to 10(16) W/cm2) are leading to the observation of new physical phenomena and the production of new classes of highly excited matter. These recently factor in the discussions is the ability to generate very high levels of electronic excitation in the manner which enables the system to remain kinetically cold-for the time scale of the interaction. This conventionally paradoxical situation, in alliance with the existence of a new high-field mode of channeled propagation is highly conducive to coherent x-ray generation under a rather wide range of circumstances.
