Abstract: Numerical simulation of Xe gas jet, outflowing from a nozzle into the vacuum and considered as a target in the LPP radiation source, has been carried out. Different nozzle configurations and different gas conditions before the nozzle have been considered. A criterion based on the simulation results and describing observable plasma radiation intensity has been proposed. The criterion makes it possible to select an optimum configuration for a further experimentation. Results of the calculation are compared with earlier published experimental data.
