Numerical study of the electron velocity distribution under the influence of KrF- laser

Abstract

 We focused on designing and constructing a two dimensional model to simulate
the plasma under the action of KrF laser. The program is started with a uniform
plasma in space and with Maxwellian distribution of velocity in both directions x
and y as initial conditions. The electron velocity distributions are obtained at
different values of electron density, where each electron density is investigated
under the influence of KrF laser (

We studied the temporal evolution of the velocity distribution in the x and y-
directions.
