We present in this paper a theoretical modeling and a numerical
simulation devoted to the problem of transport and energy deposition
profile of high current light ion beams interacting with dense matter. A
numerical code, named MBC-ITFIP, is used to follow the trajectories of
light atomic or molecular ions inside plasma targets with non-uniform
density, temperature and composition profiles. MBC-ITFIP has been more
specifically optimized for application of ion beams generated by the new
high intensity laser sources, such as radiography and isochoric heating of
dense plasmas.
