The interaction of an electron with two electromagnetic waves propagating in an isotropic plasma is studied. It is shown, by numerical calculations, that the electron behaves stochastically, above a given threshold of the wave field amplitudes. The numerical threshold is compared with those given by analytical criteria. The results might be relevant to the laser-plasma interaction problem.

Smoothing of laser-plasma interaction by ISI, RPP, SSD, etc. was mainly directed to overcome lateral nonuniformity of irradiation. While these problems are in no way less important, we derived numerically the model of the Laue rippling and hydrorelaxation model for explanation of the measured temporal pulsation in the 10- to 40-ps range and how the smoothing schemes suppress these pulsations. The partial standing wave fields of the normally coherent laser-irradiated plasma corona is then suppressed by smoothing and conclusion for tests for this model, e.g., by the “question mark experiment” is given. The result provides a physics solution of the laser interaction problem for direct-drive inertial fusion energy
