Title: Convective transport in laser target plasmas

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6153449

The role of guiding-center corrections in convective transport of electron energy is examined with a simple numerical model. At 10/sup 16/W cm/sup -2/ with a 60-..mu..m spot and a 10.6-..mu..m wavelength laser, the Righi-Leduc term is observed to have little effect on transport in a calculation with the thermal flux limited to the free-streaming value.
