Abstract
A two-component, flux-limited diffusion model is introduced for the self-consistent transport of hot electrons in laser-produced plasmas. Megagauss fields from the source are predicted for W μ/. For low- target materials a prompt back-side field is a signature for hot electrons reaching the back of thin foils.
