THE SANDIA X-RAY LASER PROGRAM

Abstract
The Sandia X-ray Laser Program is based on the use of intense keV radiation produced by gas puff, Z-pinch implosions to photoionize Ne-like ions to F-like ions. A 3p-3s population inversion is generated via recombination processes. An annular stagnation shell is used to separate the imploding pump source from the lasant. We are also developing a converter technology for examining the Na-Ne line matching scheme. Design considerations and some computational results are presented
