The main research results

A number of powerful mathematical software has been developed in the sector, including:

  1. A program “RAPID” to calculate the interaction of laser radiation with matter, based on the simultaneous solution of Maxwell's equations and the equations of one-dimensional gas dynamics;
  2. A program “RAPID-SP” to calculate the interaction of a short laser pulse with plasma;
  3. A program “ATLANT-HE” to calculate the two-dimensional gas dynamics of plasma, taking into account the generation and transport of epithermal electrons;
  4. A program “RADIANT” to calculate the proper radiation transport in high-temperature laser plasma;
  5. A program “DESNA” to calculate the optical properties of laser plasma and others.

 A number of well-known concepts of laser fusion targets with a high gain coefficient have been proposed in the sector, among them:

  • The concept of fast direct ignition;
  • The "Laser Greenhouse" target for a small number of irradiating laser beams;
  • The X-ray target with a direct exposure.
