Abstract
Rhodes and coworkers have reported a great many results over the last decade showing directional keV x-ray emission in laser pulse channeling experiments in Xe and in Kr clusters. Selective inner-shell ionization has been proposed as a mechanism to produce gain. We propose that directional emission might be due instead to a phased array emission effect, following up-conversion through a new quantum effect.
