Boltzmann equations are applied for modelling the radiation damage in samples irradiated<br />

by photons e<strong>mit</strong>ted from free electron laser (FEL). This statistical approach is<br />

used to model the evolution of a spherically symmetric xenon cluster consisting of 1000<br />

atoms irradiated with FEL photons at VUV energies. Simulation parameters follow<br />

those set in the first cluster experiments performed at FLASH at DESY HAMBURG.<br />

Predictions obtained with this theoretical model are then compared to the experimental<br />

data. The results obtained demonstrate the potential of the Boltzmann method<br />

for describing the complex and non-equilibrium dynamics of samples exposed to FEL<br />

radiation. In particular, this approach work also well for large samples, for which the<br />

standard simulation methods become inefficient.
