Abstract

The semicollisional transport theory in laser heated plasmas is presented. The Fokker–Planck equation that includes the electron–electron interaction up to the first anisotropy is solved numerically for arbitrary collisionality range. The inverse bremsstrahlung absorption of the laser energy by the electrons is taken into account. Nonlocal heat flux formulas due to the thermal gradients and to the laser heating, which are in good agreement with the numerical results, are proposed. These transport coefficients are compared with the results of the literature.
