Abstract
A reduced Fokker-Planck theory of Coulomb collisional electrons in high- laser-fusion plasmas is found to give self-consistent results of lower than classical absorption and heat transport in numerical calculations characterized by laboratory parameters. These results are determined by non-Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions which are established when laser absorption is balanced by heat transport.
