Abstract
In review, general results obtained by Institute of Physics and Power Engineering (IPPE) during 1981–1992 are presented in the field of physics of nuclear-induced plasmas in the following directions: processes of primary ionization of different media by nuclear reaction products; function of electron distribution in nuclear-induced plasmas; processes of excitation and relaxation; track structure of nuclear-induced plasmas. Prospects of study progress are discussed with a view to improve the current concepts of physics of elementary processes occurring in nuclear-induced plasmas and obtain experimental and theoretical data on process constants needed to calculate the nuclear-pumped lasers.
