A relativistically-correct Fokker-Planck analysis is used to develop fluid equations which model the interaction of relativistic electron beams with high atomic-number plasmas. The derived collision terms can be used to describe scattering and energy in materials ranging from the solid to high-temperature plasma forms. The full set of equations discussed can be used to study electron-beam-initiated pellet-fusion in a completely self-consistent fashion. Specifically, the model is applicable to study of beam pinching in plasma-filled diodes, the interaction of focussed beams with target plasmas, and the transport of high nu/gamma beams in high atomic-number plasmas. Although the general equations are amenable to solution only by computational techniques, analytic solutions describing the time-dependent, collisional interaction of a beam in an infinite plasma, and the one-dimensional equilibrium of a beam in a plasma with applied electric field have been obtained.

Recent scientific and technical advances have made it possible to create matter in the laboratory under conditions relevant to astrophysical systems such as supernovae and black holes. These advances will also benefit inertial confinement fusion research and the nation's nuclear weapon's program. The report describes the major research facilities on which such high energy density conditions can be achieved and lists a number of key scientific questions about high energy density physics that can be addressed by this research. Several recommendations are presented that would facilitate the development of a comprehensive strategy for realizing these research opportunities.
