Abstract
The ability to apply power densities controllably at or above vigorous thermonuclear levels (>1019 W/cm3) in materials is the basic issue for achieving efficient amplification of x-rays. Recent experimental and theoretical findings concerning the multiphoton production of x-rays from clusters and high-intensity modes of channeled propagation in plasmas indicate an entirely new method for producing the conditions necessary for strong amplification in the multi-kilovolt range.
