Abstract

For a laser-driven fusion plasma dense enough to absorb the fusion particles, the slowing down of the reaction products and of their cascade of recoils is calculated (treating discrete energy loss in a collision correctly). The occurrence of reactions between the slowing-down particles and ambient ions is also calculated. The products of these reactions are in turn followed, through as many iterations as necessary. Illustrations are given.
