Kinetic equation approach to describe dynamics of irradiated samples — •Beata Ziaja¹, Christoph Bostedt², Tim Laarmann³, Fenglin Wang³, Edgar Weckert³, and Thomas Möller⁴ — ¹CFEL, DESY, D-22607 Hamburg, Germany — ²SLAC, LCLS Exp Fac Instr Sci R&D, CA 94025, USA — ³HASYLAB, DESY, D-22607 Hamburg, Germany — ⁴TU Berlin, Institut für Optik und Atomare Physik, D-10623 Berlin, Germany

We describe the kinetic equation approach to follow the dynamics of irradiated samples. We introduce the kinetic Boltzmann equation and discuss its advantages and limitations, when comparing to other modelling methods. We then apply this equation to describe the experimental data on irradiated clusters and laser-created plasmas that were obtained at the free-electron laser facility FLASH at DESY. We show the good agreement between experimental results and our theoretical estimations.
