The 1D1/2 simulation: Application to the plasmas of lasers x ray recombination
Abstract
Two dimensional effects in the simulation of x-ray recombination are studied. A model of 1D1/2 (one dimensional 1/2) is developed. The model is one dimensional in terms of the normal direction of the target. It, however, takes the hydrodynamic expansion parallel to the direction of the target into account by using an OD description. Simulations carried out using the 1D1/2 simulations with fixed Z values lead to thermal and density evolutions close to those found in atomic physics. The 2D code is adapted for carrying out simulation of plasma recombination using a nonuniform grid.
