title: Microscopic analysis of large-cluster explosion in intense laser fields.
abstract: We present a three dimensional microscopic particle in cell code. The code models nanoplasmas in intense laser fields, taking account of all relevant microscopic interactions. Our simulation reveals the physical processes determining the laser induced explosion of large clusters with several 10,000 atoms.
