Strongly Coupled Plasma Research for the Equation of State and Conductivity of a Laser-Compressed Electron-Ion Plasma

Abstract

A novel scheme for the analysis of dense, strongly coupled plasmas, occurring in laser compression (and other) experiments, has been developed. The scheme has been applied to the analysis both of static and of dynamic properties of such plasmas. Comparison with conventional perturbative weak coupling theories and with other strong coupling schemes have been performed: they confirm the superiority of the present scheme.
