Abstract

Development of laboratory X-ray lasers will require cavity components (mirrors, etc) able to survive intense pulses of soft x-rays. In this paper we examine physical processes which are likely to limit the performance of layered synthetic microstructures and establish a theoretical damage limit ~ .1 Joule/cm2 for Mo-Si composites. We also examine the suitability of our general computational tools (XSN, QEOS, TKN, LASNEX) for this unusual low-temperature application.
