Abstract

A simple piston model for the boring of ultraintense lasers into overdense plasmas is proposed. The hydrodynamic behavior of the laser-irradiated plasma is then determined in a self-consistent manner. Scaling laws for the parameters characterizing the laser penetration, shock propagation, and shock-compressed plasma are presented.
