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
