High-intensity ultrashort laser pulse interaction with dense plasma
- S. I. Vavilov State Optical Institute, St. Petersburg (Russian Federation)
A simulation code is developed for the investigation of the interaction of subpicosecond high-power laser pulses with dense plasma. The heating process is studied by solving the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation for the electron distribution function. The skin layer of the plasma has an anisotropic non-Maxwellian electron distribution, which may be reason for the plasma turbulence and a suppression of energy losses. Hydrodynamic simulations with radiation transport are conducted to study X-ray emission and plasma relaxation. (AIP) {copyright} 1994 {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}
