This project will investigate the possibility of creating extreme               ultraviolet and soft X-ray lasers (wavelength 200A - 1200A) Using               magnetically confined recombining plasmas produced by fast capillary            discharges.  The motivation of this research is to achieve laser action         in these spectral regions with a relatively compact discharge-pumped            devise, as compared with the Kilojoule laser sources required as pumps          in other XUV laser approaches.  Dense multiply ionized plasmas will be          created using high power density capillary discharges.  When initially          hotter plasmas are required the combination of these capacitive                 discharges with pinched electron beams having current densities of              several Kiloamps/mm2 will be used.  Magnetic confinement will allow             conductive and radiative plasma cooling without a major reduction in            the plasma density.  Large optical gains in the XUV and soft X-ray              spectral region are expected to result from electron-ion recombination          of highly ionized species.  H-like, He-like and Li-like species will be         investigated as laser candidates.
