Energy Deposition in Laser-Heated Plasmas
Abstract
A set of relations obtained by Brueckner between a bremsstrahlung spectrum and the underlying electron distribution do not hold if the energy dependence of the Gaunt factor is retained. A different set of relations is then derived. Their practical usefulness for interpretation of laser-heated plasmas appears to be limited.
