We focused on designing and constructing a two dimensional model to simulate the plasma under the action of KrF laser. The program is started with a uniform plasma in space and with Maxwellian distribution of velocity in both directions x and y as initial conditions. The electron velocity distributions are obtained at different values of electron density, where each electron density is investigated under the influence of KrF laser ( 248 nm) o  for 1015w cm -2 power density. We studied the temporal evolution of the velocity distribution in the x and y- directions.
