Simulation Model Development for High Energy Density Physics

近年来，高强度激光技术的迅猛发展使其能够产生高能量密度的等离子体，其发展在包括基础物理和工业应用在内的各个领域都具有重要意义。为此，需要对高能密度物理进行综合模拟，并开发了相应的统计碰撞模型和模拟程序，通过对快点火激光核聚变的综合模拟分析，对整个物理机制的阐明取得了很大进展。

Recent drastic progress in ultrahigh intensity laser technology can produce high energy density plasmas, and their developments are expected in various fields, including fundamental physics and industrial applications. Thus integrated simulation modeling for high energy density physics is required, and a statistical collision model and simulation codes have been developed for it. As a result of analyses of fast ignition laser fusion with the use of the integrated simulations, the elucidation of overall physical mechanisms has greatly progressed.
