Abstract

Here we report on the present status of our project on statistical modelling of charge dynamics within irradiated samples. Boltzmann statistical approach to model the radiation damage in samples irradiated by FEL photons is tested in a study case of a spherically symmetric xenon cluster. Qualitative agreement between the model predictions and the experimental data is found. The results obtained demonstrate the potential of the statistical method for describing the non-equilibrium dynamics of samples exposed to FEL radiation.
