Collisional particle in cell modelling of the propagation of fast electrons in solid density plasma
This thesis looks at the effects that electron-ion Coulomb collisions have on fast electron transport in solid density plasma. The study of the fast electrons generated in ultra-high intensity laser-plasma interactions is important due to their envisioned use in the fast ignition approach to inertia...
