We study the transport and energy deposition of superthermal electrons in high-density plasma, starting from the basic physics of relativistic particle collisions, considering relativistic Coulomb collisions and the collective effect, combined with the background plasma electron return and temperature equation, developed a hybrid model of the electronic relativistic Fokker-Planck equation. The finite volume algorithm of the Fokker-Planck equation in the rectangular-momentum spherical coordinate system is constructed, and the numerical algorithm and numerical simulation program are verified by calculating the energy deposition and magnetic field generation process of the monoenergetic electron beam in the high-density plasma. For evaluating of the preheat effects of superthermal electrons during the implosion process, the energy deposition processes and energy distributions in the implosion target under the single-energy and bi-Maxwellian energy spectrum are calculated.
