Abstract:  This report from the LITH152 project describes the development of
two models to describe laser target interactions with extreme
ultraviolet (EUV) sources. One is a 1D spherical near-field model
for laser-droplet sources; the other is an electromagnetic 1D
slab/film model for liquid filaments. Most effort was spent on
accelerating the code run time. The codes were also modified to
handle two-pulse heating.
