Abstract
The current interest in laser plasmas originated many years ago in the general effort for solving the world-wide need for an abundant and everlasting energy source. That effort has focussed on the use of the hydrogen thermonuclear fusion. The experimental devices adequate for generating locally the very high temperatures necessary for fusion ignition distribute into two types: those using magnetic confinement, e.g., the tokamaks, and those using inertial confinement, namely the plasmas produced by high-power laser impacts on targets. The laser-produced plasmas are cheaper, which is the reason why so many groups in the world have developed them. They are usually called hot plasmas when the average kinetic energy of the electrons and atomic ions which they contain exceeds 100 eV.
