Abstract

The collisional heating rate of a fully ionized plasma driven by a strong electromagnetic pump wave is examined analytically with a laser intensity larger than 1018 W/cm2. The Dawson-Oberman high frequency conductivity model is extended into the case in which the quiver velocity is so large that the relativistic effect must be considered.
