The physics of laser compression of plasmas
Description
These lecture notes serve as a supplement to the author's Lectures on the Physics of the Super Dense Region' (Laser Plasma Interactions. Ed. R.A. Cairns and J.J. Sanderson. SUSSP publications Dpt. Phys., Univ. Edinburgh. (1980)). Material, revised and updated to reflect the significant developments which have occurred in the last three years, is discussed under the headings; thermal conduction, ablation governed by electron thermal conduction, experimental study of mass ablation rate and ablation pressure, thermal smoothing of pressure variations due to non-uniform irradiation, and Rayleigh-Taylor instability. (U.K.)
