Mg. Cadjan et al., PECULIARITIES OF THE OVERDENSE PLASMA DYNAMICS UNDER THE ACTION OF ULTRA-INTENSE LASER-PULSES, Physics letters. A, 222(5), 1996, pp. 324-328
Results of numerical and analytical investigations of ultra-intense la
ser pulse interaction with an overdense plasma are presented. The mech
anisms of the wave field energy transformation into the overdense plas
ma energy are discussed. The effects of radiation propagation deep int
o the plasma as well as long living vortex formation, plasma boundary
instability, are obtained. A nonlinear theory of plasma surface instab
ility in the field of a strong electromagnetic wave is constructed.
