Scattered radiation and neutron production in laser-plasma interaction
Abstract
Interaction of a strong wave with a plasma, and modes of parametric instabilities in plasma, are the focus of attention. Scattered laser radiation and neutron production from the laser-imploded pellet are analyzed in detail. Line representations of distinct scattering processes are developed. The treatment is applicable to other wave-plasma coupling phenomena, such as heating of magnetically confined plasma by intense RF fields or current-driven turbulence in Tokamak machines.
