β¦ Synopsis
A method is presented for the solution of the 2D wave-envelope equations describing beat-wave excitation. The code includes self-focussing, radial plasma-wave fields, and density inhomogeneity. The time evolution of injected particle beams is followed in 3D over distances up to an accelerator stage length. An example of the code's application is given using parameters in the vicinity of anticipated experiments.

Discharge of the capacitor bank between two coaxial electrodes creates a plasma sheath which is then accelerated and compressed. The magnetohydrodynamic equations are solved using an explicit numerical scheme together with the electrical circuit equations. For calculation in a two-dimensional region
## Abstract Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) offers many modeling challenges. One could summarize this general fact as follows: to take into account the physics occurring in a hohlraum cavity one has to elaborate specific models and try to couple them all to finally provide a quantitative solution
