Ion density fluctuations in plasma and their effects on hot electron generation

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited === In this thesis, high-energy electron generation by stimulated Raman scattering of intense laser light is investigated in computer simulations. These high-energy electrons can be used to produce a high-energy x-ray source for Nuclear Weapons...
