A computational approach for simulations in the emerging field of short-pulse (τ < 1 psec), high-intensity (I = 10[sup 17]-10[sup 19] W/cm²) laser-plasma interactions is introduced. The approach is a particle-in-cell method (PIC) which, as unique features, incorporates electron-ion collisions at relativistic energies and the time variation of the ionization state of the plasma. This has been incorporated into the WAVE two-dimensional plasma simulation code [Phys. Fluids 18, 1017 (1975) ] for the purpose of simulating experiments at the Los Alamos Bright Source facilities [Phys. Rev. A 39, 454 ( 1989) ]. However, the computational methods should be useful for work in laser fusion and other areas where rapid ionization occurs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
