Vlasov simulation for laser-plasma interaction — •Suo Tang, Naveen Kumar, and Christoph H. Keitel — Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics, Saupfercheckweg 1, 69126, Heidelberg, Germany

Vlasov simulation of laser-plasma interaction has an inherent advantage of low-noise over the well-known method of particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. In addition to studying the nonlinear physics of laser-plasma interaction, cross section of certain quantum processes can be included in the Vlasov equation as the source term, making it a versatile tool to study the intense laser-matter interaction. Results of the intense laser-matter interaction physics including some quantum effects from a recently developed 1D Vlasov code are presented.
