Quasistationary model of laser corona in spherical and cylindrical targets

A model of quasistationary corona of spherical and cylindric laser targets has been considered with allowance for the electron thermal conductivity assuming energy yield concentrated in a critical layer. Density, velocity and temperature distributions of the plasma depending on performance characteristics of a laser pulse (flux density, emission wavelength) and a target (radius, thermal-physical properties) are calculated. The estimate relations for some corona parameters in both geometries have been found
