Abstract
The potential possibilities of a plasma heated by laser radiation as a negative-ion source are analyzed theoretically. It is shown that the efficiency of negative-ion formation in a laser plasma in the heating phase reaches 1015−1016 ions/J when the parameters of the laser radiation are optimally adjusted.
