Initializing anisotropic electron velocity distribution functions in optical-field ionized plasmas

Dynamics of optical-field-ionized plasmas for x-ray lasers.

Effective Field Theory for Highly Ionized Plasmas

We examine the equilibrium properties of hot, non-relativistic plasmas. The partition function and density correlation functions of a plasma with several species are expressed in terms of a functional integral over electrostatic potential distributions. This is a convenient formulation for performing a perturbative expansion. The theory is made well-defined at every stage by employing dimension...

Equation of state of fully ionized electron-ion plasmas

Thermodynamic quantities of Coulomb plasmas consisting of point-like ions immersed in a compressible, polarizable electron background are calculated for ion charges Z = 1 to 26 and for a wide domain of plasma parameters ranging from the Debye-Hückel limit to the crystallization point and from the region of nondegenerate to fully degenerate nonrelativistic or relativistic electrons. The calculat...
