Multiterawatt, 30-fs optical pulses are used to create an eight times ionized plasma in a few torr of Xe gas. Energetic electrons which are also created by the circularly polarized laser pulse are used to produce a population inversion on a 41.8-nm transition in Xe IX. Observation of gain {gt}exp(10) is presented. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
