The PI has proposed to conduct numerical simulation modeling of a novel         scheme to produce a high temperature, high density plasma in a                  configuration suitable for x-ray lasing.  His approach which is based           upon implosion of concentric thin-metal foils offers a good shot at the         tantalizing goal of obtaining x-ray lasing without requiring a national         laser facility source as driver.  Support through the expedited grant           will enable modeling of the various complex stages of the excitation            process, including such parameters as optimum electron temperature for          soft x-ray generation, optimum gas density for shock wave production,           ablative pressure for compression of the core cylinder, and estimate of         energy storage requirements.
