Abstract
The interaction between laser and matter is gaining increasing attention due to its diverse applications. These encompass a wide range of areas, including inertial confinement fusion for energy production, particles acceleration, medical diagnostics, and cancer treatment. Of particular significance is the proton-boron fusion, which offers the advantage of minimal high-energy neutron production, thereby reducing the potential hazard caused by neutron activation of surrounding materials. Therefore, it is important to understand the characteristics of plasmas generated by laser-matter interactions and the specific nature of the laser-matter interaction itself. Computational models and simulations play a crucial role in studying and simulating these phenomena.
They are useful to acquire a quantitative understanding of the physical process governing the interaction between laser and matter: laser beam absorption, energy exchange with the target material, particularly between electrons and ions, as well as fusion processes and the ionization of atoms within the target
