WENO schemes applied to the quasi-relativistic Vlasov--Maxwell model for   laser-plasma interaction
  In this paper we focus on WENO-based methods for the simulation of the 1D Quasi-Relativistic Vlasov--Maxwell (QRVM) model used to describe how a laser wave interacts with and heats a plasma by penetrating into it. We propose several non-oscillatory methods based on either Runge--Kutta (explicit) or Time-Splitting (implicit) time discretizations. We then show preliminary numerical experiments.
