  abstract = {The plasma response to a picosecond multi-terawatt laser pulse is characterized by several distinctly different time scales. In the present report we consider the plasma{\textquoteright}s evolution on the slow time scale typical for excitations of the ionic component. A relativistically strong laser pulse (10(18)-10(19) W cm(-2)) is shown to drive, under proper conditions, mega-ampere ion currents with a typical ion energy of 50-150 keV, which covers the region of the resonance peak in the cross section of D-T fusion and, hence, provides an opportunity to initiate nuclear reactions directly in the laser focus.},
