Excitation of metastable extreme ultraviolet levels

; ; ;
The excitation of large densities of high energy metastable atoms and ions is described. Ionic metastable levels are produced as a result of photoionization by x-rays emitted from a laser-produced plasma. For the case of metastable levels in neutral atomic species, excitation is caused by a ''photoionization electron source.'' The electrons involved in this excitation are created when an ''absorber'' gas is photoionized by a burst of laser-produced x-rays.
