The dynamics describing the interaction of an intense ultrashort laser pulse
with a collection of Xe clusters is presented to investigate the creation of
inner shell holes to test the feasibility of creating population inversions
and gain within the M-shell of highly ionized xenon. The model couples a
molecular dynamics treatment of the explosively-driven, non-Maxwellian cluster
expansion to a comprehensive multiphoton-radiative ionization dynamic model
including single- and double-hole state production within the Co- and Fe-like
ionization stages of xenon.
