Description

Current research on long-wavelength laser interaction with magnetized plasmas is summarized. Special attention is given to laser beam guiding in plasma density minima, to plasma heating and to investigations of laser-produced plasmas in strong magnetic fields. The basic theoretical and experimental background and research are discussed. Reactor studies based on laser heated plasma systems are reviewed. Some areas of possible future research are mentioned.
