Abstract
A steady-state model of a plasma slab, accelerated by interaction with laser radiation, determines temperature, velocity, and density profiles and boundaries consistent with laser intensity and wavelength and slab mass and acceleration. Density-profile modification is caused by laser pressure. Plasma flows subsonically into the critical surface, and supersonically out.Keywords
