Abstract
Some aspects of the problem of a numerical simulation of rates alld spectra of
thermonuclear reaction products in a laser driven plasma are considered. Monte-Carlo
simulation is the most commonly used method for this purpose. By using the properties
of the analytical model it is proved that the problem can be reduced to the numerical
solution of transcendential equation and numerical integration and the problem could
be performed on a personal computer. The spectra of charged particles alld secondary
photons predicted by S. S. Koteillikov and E. A. Choban [6J are discussed. The results
are qualitatively in agreement with those determined experimentally and by use of the
Monte-Carlo method. The proposed method of solution could be of use as additional
tool for testing the model of the state of the laser target
