Abstract
Part I of the paper—devoted to modelling high-power CW lasers—gives a brief description of the investigated device and uses an analytical approximation to Bethe’s formula to calculate the following quantities: the space profiles in the discharge chamber of the electron beam energy, the stopping power and the source term under operating conditions for four-component mixtures of practical interest. The energy loss of the primary beam in travelling through a thin Al foil is calculated. Parts II and III will be published promptly. Part II will be devoted to the plasma characteristics in the discharge chamber and to the kinetic and fluid-dynamic model of the laser. Part III will be devoted to an assessment of the numerical results obtained from the model and their comparison with experimental data.
