Abstract
Experimental studies of the characteristics of Xe(M) emission (similar to 12-19 Angstrom) produced by multiphoton excitation of Xe clusters indicate that the nonlinear interaction automatically acts as a templa te leading to the preparation of the maximally radiating configuration s for that spectral range. The new mechanism deduced is a general mult iphoton multi-electron process which dynamically combines rapid multip hoton ionization, 4f-orbital collapse, and correlated electron motion.
