The gain is predicted for a solid molybdenum target illuminated by several joules of combined energy from a nanosecond laser pulse to create a preplasma followed by a picosecond laser pulse to drive the gain. Gains greater than 300cm{sup {minus}1} are predicted for the Ni-like Mo 4d{sup 1}S{sub 0}{r_arrow}4p{sup 1}P{sub 1} transition at 18.9 nm, which is driven by the monopole collisional excitation. High gain is also predicted for a self-photo-pumped 4f{sup 1}P{sub 1}{r_arrow}4d{sup 1}P{sub 1} transition at 22.0 nm and several other transitions driven by inner shell collisional ionization. {copyright} 1997 Optical Society of America
