The production of fast ions in laser-heated plasmas is shown to result from the large electric fields in the under-dense plasma which control the orbiting motion of super-thermal electrons produced in the processes of laser-energy absorption. The magnitude of the effect also requires that the fast electrons be reflected many times in the corona fields. The prolonged orbiting of the electrons results from the relatively high transparency of the dense plasma to the very energetic super-thermal electrons.

A simple model of ’’exploding-pusher’’ laser fusion targets is presented. The peak ion temperature is calculated by assuming that the ion heating mechanism is a shock followed by isentropic compression. The compression is calculated by conservation of mass and reasonable assumptions on the density profile at peak compression time. The neutron yield predictions of this model agree over a broad range of parameter space with those of complex one-dimensional numerical simulation, which in two dimensions have tracked experimentally measured yields quite accurately.
