For energy deposition of fast electrons in high density plasma, a relativistic Fokker-Planck equation in three-dimensional momentum space is introduced. It includes both binary collision and contribution from plasma collective response. Numerical method as well as kinetic code of the equation is developed. Typical energy deposition cases are presented with comparison with stopping power model. Energy deposition of fast electrons with energy from 0.5 MeV to 3.5 MeV in 300 g·cm-3 DT plasma are simulated. It shows that scattering angle ϕ plays minor role on range and penetration depth of energy deposition of fast electrons.

Numerical Method for Relativistic Vlasov Equation in Cartesian-Spherical Coordinate System

We study numerical method for relativistic Vlasov equation and present a scheme for computing Vlasov equation based on Cartesian-spherical coordinate system, which can be used to reduce number of numerical grid for momentum space. Furthermore, a 4th order non-splitting finite volume scheme is proposed in order to solve momentum parts of relativistic Vlasov equation. In test problems, especially relativistic Landau problem, laser-plasma interaction are solved by using the scheme. We confirm the scheme with theoretically analysis as well as numerical comparison with results of PIC method.
