Ultra Intense Laser Pulses Interaction with Plasmas
DOI: 10.1615/ITPPC-1996.190
pages 147-154
Abstract
The results of simulation of the ultra-intense laser pulses
interaction with overdense plasma are presented. The effects of radiation propagation deep into plasma as well as long-living vortex formation, plasma boundary instability and the surface structures formation are obtained. The mechanisms of the wave field energy transformation into the overdense plasma energy are discussed.
