Abstract
A two-dimensional Lagrangian code is used to model a laser-heated solenoid. The results indicate important two-dimensional effects and the global behavior of the plasma is found to be different from the predictions of one-dimensional theories. Most of the laser energy transferred to the plasma appears in the form of internal energy, suggesting that the bleaching wave approach for reactor calculations is correct. The plasma parameters are significantly changed when the peak of the laser beam profile is flattened.
