Nonlinear Heating of Plasmas by High Power Lasers.

Abstract

This report covers research on Nonlinear Heating of Plasmas by High Power Lasers. The overall objective of the program was to study the interaction of intense laser radiation with high density plasma, such as that produced by radiation impinging on a cold target or from a pre-existing plasma.
