Absorption of ultra-short laser pulses and particle transport in dense targets
Abstract
A new version of the numerical code KALOS has been developed to solve the Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation for electrons as well as EM wave propagation. KALOS represents the electron distribution function in momentum space by an expansion in spherical harmonics. Its unique features make possible simultaneous investigations of fast electron generation and transport and the collisional evolution of thermal particles, including the return current of …
